I've been a DM fan since 1980. I've LOVED every album since then until the new one. Some of the songs are cool, others not so much. BUT, I will admit sometimes it takes awhile for a new album to grow on me. There is just too much slow stuff on this new album. We will still see at least two shows when DM comes to Texas in the fall. We already have our tickets for Dallas.
A lot of people who think they know about DM's music think it's all slow stuff, it's not. There is some really great upbeat songs that I love cruising to all the time. They are an AWESOME band to see live too.
