but i think it has a lot to do with it. it's not really fair to say that it
doesn't. i mean, in our case, we grew up with this band and there's an
attachment there that goes beyond just music. we hardly get any info regarding
their personal lives or anything that they're doing. most of our posts are just
funny little speculations about what this lyric and that song COULD be
representitive of but no one knows for sure. also - hanson's music has always
stuck out like sore thumbs. imo, and i'm sure a lot of you will agree, no one
quite sounds like them so in our heads we're like "oh man, three years? this
HAS to be good!" because we're all basically left in suspense during most of
their recording processes. and because it is hanson, there are high
expectations and the longer it takes, the better we think it will be. it's not
the WHOLE reason the songs "suck" to some people, but i really think it has a
lot to do with it.
as for the songs - i think we should keep in mind that these three years
probably consisted of more label battles rather than actual work on the album
and that we shouldn't just assume that hanson is becoming bland or "trying too
hard". i think hanson wanted to go in one direction, but were being pulled in
another. that can have a huge affect on your material, whether you want it to
or not. hanson has obviously decided not to compromise so these songs that were
released are probably appetizers (so to speak) to keep fans satisfied while
they focus on the tracks on the album which is going to take much longer
because of the need for a new label. let's just have some faith. we don't know
what's up their sleeve. i mean, almost all of the tracks that have been named
as tracks on the album have been pretty much out of the picture. we don't know
what they've got planned for them.
just keep your spirits up! :-D
