That said, I'm very excited for Arm's Way, don't think it will be AS good as Return to the Sea because J'Aime was a better drummer than the guy they replaced him with and Jim Guthrie was a much more interesting lead guitarist as well; but Nick's songwriting is as strong as ever, so undoubtedly it will still be head and shoulders above most of the crap everybody else is coming out with these days.
I feel the same way! J'aime is my brother-in-law, so I know my opinion is probably a little biased...but he was SUCH a better drummer. Too bad he got married, I guess....
The Arm is probably my favorite song they ever made, though.
