Those were the days.... WHen i first heard Title of record I had hard time adjusting to their change in sound, image and all, but I'm glad that I gave it a chance. It is a radio altrock band, but it is still is a band producing well written music which is quite enjoyable to listen to. I like some songs from the new record, and it will find its place among the cds in my car (which is sort of a compliment for any record ;) Shortbus is definitely the best Filter record.

That may be true since 1997 when Brian Liesegang left but Filter WAS Patrick and Liesgang. Since the latter's departure Filter has gone from being an Industrial Metal (Coldwave) act to a Pop band whose sole aim is radio play. The new album only furthers that. This is pathetic sellout rock that offers nothing but the same pabulum put out by Daughtry and his ilk. I'll allow that the lyrical content has a little more depth this time out, but it's still Pop music that barely rocks. The REAL Filter dies with Liesgang's departure over ten years ago.

I can't say I was particularly impressed. Then again, I haven't given Filter much of my attention since <i>Title of Record</i>. I miss the sound of <i>Short Bus</i>. I should start a band that sounds like that... Amazon has sound samples up for preview. I can’t say I was particularly impressed.

I miss the sound of Short Bus. I should start a band that sounds like that…

Title of Record has been a favourite album of mine for a long time, but I thought The Amalgamut, as well as being fairly unengaging, was especially ruined by some seriously cringeworthy lyrics... Will listen with open ears and mind (as always). Good to hear there might be a bit of lyrical improvement.

Until he addresses that, I will continue to not buy his music.
