It's funny...a lot of people are complaining about the slow and mid-tempo songs, but those are my favorites. For example, the song "Nostradamus" doesn't do much for me, but I love "Alone" and "War."
Also, some people have complained about "boring, unnecessary" acoustics and keyboards. LOL, I actually like them!
Just goes to show you how music is in the ear of the beholder.
