(check out the new song, "Star")
In my opinion it sucks balls. Big time. No, really, words can't describe my disappointment. Evolution 4.0 was already weird but not bad, but this new track is really unlistenable. It has nothing to do with Thunderstone. There are some good "glimpses", but the whole thing is horrible, way too heavy, that's not how they used to sound like at all.
Heck, they were one of my favorite bands, now they keep saying the album will be much heavier (definitely much heavier, judging by that song), and that they'll no longer do "wimpy" stuff anymore. Yeah, as if changing the band's style wasn't bad enough, they're calling their previous works "wimpy". They even changed the vocals in Evolution 4.0 songs in their MySpace page. Way to go, that's gonna be the letdown of the year.
I hope Pasi Rantanen keeps producing good stuff, I hope he can find a good band to work with (Masterplan?
