This is something I've thought about a fair bit as of late. As I've shown my friends the work I've done with Back on Solid Ground, and the more recent work I've done with Demos 2010 and beyond, it seems like people are leaning more towards the new stuff.
I suppose you can't hide what you really are; in my case, a hard rocker. Some friends have said that while Back on Solid Ground feels a little tentative, my new music better reflects who I am and exudes more confidence.
Certainly, we are taking steps as a band to move more in that direction. Honestly, it was only a matter of time before the electric side was going to come out.
The big question here is whether or not to put out Back on Solid Ground. I think I will still move forward with it, even if it just gets released in a very raw form. I think there are a lot of great songs (I think they're all great) on it even if they don't match my personality or musical inclinations to a tee. I'm seeing more potential as a concept album as well, though it may be wise not to get too carried away in that direction.
