It's not the lack of re-inventing that does it for me, it's the lack of letting the songs write themselves. You can tell on the first several albums that the songs were written out of jamming the .... out of the general riffs and seeing where they go. They weren't a bunch of riffs organized into neat little sections.
I understand how efficient and easy it is for them to go into a studio for 2 weeks with a few riffs and come out with a whole album after. With DAW's it's so easy to arrange songs if you have a few riffs/progressions already. But it definitely takes away from the flow and feel of the song.
I don't doubt that they get inspired and still write from the heart, but there was such a beauty in the songs before that came out naturally from 4 dudes who were really in tune with each other musically and would improv jam for hours.
That said, lookin' forward to the new album bigtime! Hoping Mangini breathes some serious life in the band!
