    Freedom Run has got it's moments for me, but sadly didn't bring me the euphoria of the first two albums.

    While at first Freedom Run seems lackluster, it really is a great album. While a departure from what they have done on the first two records, I have come to thoroughly enjoy it. If only they would come to New York :/ [2] lol

    I hate to say it, but Freedom Run is very, very, VERY underwhelming indeed.

    @Ting_Ting_Ting Only a few songs I believe Crowther sings. But I prefere Joel Stoker.

    Does anyone else hail from the great land down under? I'm pretty sure I'm the only Aussie fan of 'The Rifles.'
