I used to be a fan, they wait 4+ years to release a new album, I lose interest, and then they release this "song." Sorry, but that's not how you keep a fan.FunOnABunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848907827599493583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662290720711746206.post-89749507423870997182010-11-12T08:30:05.325-06:002010-11-12T08:30:05.325-06:00I used to love Ten Years!

You may remember their songs "Wasteland" and "Through the Iris" on the radios circa 2005/2006, and both of those were modern-hard-rock masterpieces. One of my good friends also bought their album "Autumn Effect" and she brought it to work one time when we were closing shop, and the filler songs were good as well. I would've ranked Ten Years in my top 10 (years) back in the day, even. <br />So when I was listening to the modern rock station in Green Bay and heard the DJ say "up next we got new stuff from Ten Years", I was pretty excited since the "new stuff" by Breaking Benjamin was fairly decent. I have to say, for bands I used to like, I would say Nickelback and Ten Years have taking the biggest changes for the worst. "Shoot it Out" is absolute trash, and seeing as how I haven't been a "big" fan of them since high school, I really don't see myself getting back into the band. Where they lose me--a single fan--they probably have in turn gained twelve more with their mainstream garbage, and I guess some will see that as an accomplishment. *shrug*FunOnABunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848907827599493583noreply@blogger.com
