A night wasn't enough to think about it.
I really wasn't expecting it, especially since members got bored of interviews asking about MP comeback and were pretty strict in their answers.
For the reasons it happened, IDK if :
-mangini was leaving soon and the guys chose MP over doing a new audition,
-the guys felt an irresistible urge to get MP back and kicked MM out,
-the guys thought it was the only solution for the band to earn more money,
-the guys listened to blink182 new album and called MP immediatly...
For JLB, in the worst case scenario I guess he got "no voice, no physical presence during writing and shit, no opinion"
Now, from a music enjoyer and musician perspective, I have a way harder time to set my opinion :
-I was nearly happy MP left because it felt like the band wasn't as creative as before, I didn't like lazy DT and inspiration corner DT epoch
-I loved MM work on DOT and AVFTTOTW, just out of this planet drumming, a delish. He was the man of the situation.
-Half of the songs of the MM era are modern DT, meaning lots of chug chug and less surprises...In the end it's a little a lazy DT too.
Now, considering songwriting, it's clear that I miss a little crazyness from the past, from concepts to emotions, modern DT is different.
Will bringing modern MP back do the trick ?
Today, my feeling is : On the best case scenario we may experience creativity, groove and less chugchug, on the worst case scenario, we get a cold BC&SL era lazy DT revamp.
I really hope this change is for the best !
