I'd rather hear them do an album of cool cover songs than an album of new subpar material. I have gotten every album but was really disappointed in Promised Land, Q2K and Tribe. Hear In The Now Frontier had a few songs I liked and though grunge Ryche is not my thing I could understand what they were going for. OMCII I felt was about 65% of the way to being a great album. It had some elements of classic Ryche, particulary some cool harmony guitars, but it lacked the cool uniquely Ryche chordal riffs that I have always loved about them.
I think OMCII was good enough for the jury to remain out. We can't quite stick the fork in them yet, but they haven't totally redeemed themselves either. If only Tate would accept that they ARE a metal band at heart...
