By the way it's been described, The Bigger Picture almost sounds like it's gonna be ballad-ish... But following so soon after The Looking Glass, I can't see that happening. Unless The Looking Glass isn't as ballad-like as I had originally thought.
I don't really have a feel on what AFTR is going to sound like either, we know it has acoustic guitar and a guitar solo, but who knows... I guess we'll see in a couple of days.
