Based on what they've done so far, I am a huge fan. Time will tell whether they can keep producing music worth listening to. I'm a bit skeptical on that point.

Fine, don't do a Boston-related act. :foc:

Honestly, I'll give them an 8. They might suck down the line, but they're decent in the now. Not Epic, but pretty worth listening to for the most.

I hate a couple of their songs, though.

Loved their first album, didn't like their second album and got bored to death with their third.

7, loved the first album but not much since, still it was a good enough debut that I give them plenty of hope
