Sevendust goes back to the basics.  Their latest release, Next, reminds me more of their first and second CD - less "radio friendly" songs than their last two albums - which is actually a good thing for Sevendust.  I enjoyed the past two albums - I even think Animosity may be their best one yet, but it's nice to see that they're not selling out by making their songs more commercialized like other metal/rock bands out there.  It was sad to see Clint Lowry go, but at least Sevendust isn't suffering much because of it.
