Query: Not "The World Won't End" - Did it?

First, I love this band, and I've seen them live and they're even better and more impactful in a club venue - so go see them!!! As much as I love the music and the gifted writing, this most recent release has gone a bit off the introspective deep end, and I am left wanting the edginess, jangle, and energy of the prior release. I am left fearing we've seen an evolution from alt-country to powerpop to soft rock. All in all, this cd is a must have, if for no other reason than the continued strong lyrical content. Be prepared for some mellow listening, however, as there is no power in this pop.
