I don't think "trendy" is really the right word here. If they wanted to
be trendy and have everyone love their music, they would have created an
album whose singles could be played on Top 40 radio! And I don't know
about you, but where I live, nothing from Pop was played on contemporary
radio except for Staring at the Sun for about 2 weeks. I think the
album was about moving in a new direction and experimenting a bit (like
all the albums). I personally like JT and AB a little better than Pop
as well, but I would doubt they'll ever go back to their "old" sound.
And that's a good thing...they're a good band because all their albums
don't sound alike!! Who knows what the next album will bring? Maybe
you'll like it better than JT... :o) And keep in mind...an album's
sales aren't always a measure of how good it is...
