Anyway, it could've been nice to hear a Cone song on this record, if we have a Tom song (kinda), and maybe even a Steve song.. although I think Steve's kinda songs wouldn't fit the whole mood of the record.
no offense, but i hate it when people act like drummers actuall write songs. maybe lyrically, like p4p, reign in pain, etc., but he doesn't write anything musically - he's just the drummer. i think people have a generally wrong perception of how a band works. more often than not, there are 1 or 2 creative forces in a band(1 if the band has a singer/guitarist like deryck, and 2 if the singer doesn't play guitar/piano; although in bands like alice in chains and oasis, the guitarist wrote most the lyrics for the singer anyway). while the rest of the band does contribute live and record some of the shit, they simply working w/ the stuff that someone else wrote. stevo, for example, doesn't play guitar (like he attempts to, but he is NOT a legit guitarist), so you can't credit him w/ making a song (especially musically) if he just drums. now granted he's a good drummer, but is not a creative force behind the band, neither is tom, and neither is cone. it's pretty much solely deryck, and i'm fine w/ that, cuz it's worked out well so far (except most of underclass hero, of course). also, in response to what someone else above said, 3/15 would work cuz albums are almost always released on a tuesday, the 26th would be a friday so that date is highly unlikely.
