I think the new cd is very good. While its not my favorite by them (Four Minute Mile is), it still is another great disc from this band. They aren't going to release 4MM and STWHA over and over again, they are evolving and trying new things with each disc they put out, and for it they are stronger. What gets to me though is that when Saves The Day did a similar thing with releasing the slower, softer "Stay What You Are", everyone seems to love it. When GUK does it now with "On A Wire", everyone seems to hate it. This is just dumb, bands mature, and explore new things with their songwriting. This isn't selling out either. If GUK sold out, they would be on TRL right now with another pop-punk song. If you want to hate OAW because it sounds different from their previous efforts, fine, but GUK can't please everyone.
