Hmmm...
How to put it...
It's more personal than I'm really ready to explain, but a big part of it is that I've left behind a lot of the stuff that inspired the lyrics.
Now, before I'm burned at the stake by the Bible thumpers -- it's not the Christian references I wanted to leave behind.
It's stuff like "Screaming," "Pull the Trigger," "Ice Cold Heart," etc. that are no longer a part of me. I'm not angry anymore :)
October Remorse has basically the same sound as Angry Little Freak, but a different spirit. It's more intense than Angry Little Freak, and darker.
So far, the response has been overwhelmingly positive!
