I agree, Rik. Runaway Train isn't anything special, but its simple, easy,
and I
imagine the crowd sings along. Anything Goes and War Machine are the cream
of
the new album, imo. Big Jack and Black Ice haven't made much of an
impression on
me yet. I'm cool with the band playing them, though, and would rather they
stick
to it instead of insert more BIB material. If they keep playing the songs,
more
and more people WILL get to know them. I've always been critical of the
band for
not playing its new material, so I'm not going to be too picky about which
new
material they decide to play when they are finally doing what I've always
asked
for.
