a bit off-topic, but i think LP5 is proving to be a bit musically lacking as well. from what i've heard so far, most of the new songs only use the simple chords that are built from within the home key.
charlie brown: mostly VI - IV - I - V
us against the world: I - V - IV - I
what happened to the unique harmonies and modulations that we heard in the first three albums? now that i think about it i didn't hear much of those in VLV either
