Is a band without all its original members still the same band.. Nope. After an 8 year hiatus, stick with what you know. This is not the time for experimentation. Do that after you gathered your flock back together. Foolish in my opinion. Council of Wolves and Snakes is not that bad really. I see what your saying though. The repetition it very distinguishable and noticeable.
Each Other .. Two words not one. Math is your strong suit. lol
Just a side note, (and stiking with the musical theme) I happened to read this a bit ago. Today in history ~ "1962 West Side Story soundtrack album goes #1 & stays #1 for 54 weeks which is more than 20 weeks longer than any other album". Impressive!
I'll be derned. i looked up the eachother thing and as it turns out it is ALWAYS two words. Good work! Now i learned 2 things today!
