Anthems for The Damned is good, but where is old music?

"I was dissapointed to hear new cd anthems for the damned by Filter. Also dissapointed for a new Filter with new members. Why singer Richard Patrick don't sing now with old filter members before Army of Anyone? any answers, I will never understand. I think it's like something lost of band: singer power voice has been lost (his voice seems to me to be a singer classic music opera voice) songs are something not true filter, new members, new show... It's something like old Army of Anyone. "Soldiers of Misfortune" is good, like "Only you" but others song of album are poor. I miss "Short Bus" "Title of Record" "Amalgamut" old albums. But happy Filter is back. One word: I'm just dissapointed music Anthems for the damned isn't a old Filter music. We have now: New poor Filter band since it's back, and 1993-2002 old and good Filter band that status is "dead"... Hope next album will be better. Or I think, Filter can "lose" a fan... And I don't think to buy next like I bought all old albums."

"I'll keep this short. The album has a similar sound to the two previous albums. The style's a little different. Most of the songs, are softer, and slower. There are a few heavier moments. There are also very few songs that do anything for me, a lot of filler.



Also we get another musician giving us his views on ex president Bush and how much he hates him, God. I get he wasn't a great president, not a fan of him myself, but there've already been too many bands doing this already. Oh yeah and Bush left office, less than a year after this album came out. Congrats Rick, What's Next is now dated, already.



There are some songs I like on here. In Dreams, Soldiers Of Misfortune, The Take(the heaviest song on the album, great verses but the chorus could've been better), Cold (Anthem For The Damned), and Hatred Is Contagious are all decent songs, but none really stand out as great. What's next has the best combination of music and vocal melodies, but onfortunately he has a line about George Bush f-ing us up or whatever he said. Still a good song, but it's dated already. I don't like songs to be lyrically dated, although I'm sure there are some I like.



Overall it's an ok album at best. I found some value. I'm just sick of the subject matter. Maybe if he'd released this a few years back it wouldn't have bothered me, but again less than a year after its release and it's dated. If you 're a Filter fan then check it out, but don't expect it be be a great album."
