Query: What is this?

I have been a fan of this band since 1995 when I randomly heard Runnin on Ice in a store. This was back when they were an acoustic rock band with great songs and musicianship. Now, with this newest album and their big time record deal, you can see that this was the work of a big studio making a great band average. They sound now like any other band on the radio and they have all but lost the sound from their previous albums. I hope that this is not the permanent thing with Vertical Horizon because I do love their other stuff, just not any of the stuff on this album. My plea to the band is to not sell out, there is something to be said for great song writing and having a unique sound. If you like great, heart-felt music, check out There and Back Again, Runnin on Ice, or Live Stages, not this album.
