Lets get MY frustration out...this is what THE FICTION WE LIVE should have been. This is a real representation of FATA. Sorry guys, but FICTION was crap in my eyes. ABANDON YOUR FRIENDS is so aptly titled that when you put this CD on, it will make you abandon previous expectations of FATA and you see what the hell they have been through the last few years. This is the personal record that TOO BAD YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL was, but years later...this is a great CD, and even though a good portion of the record (40�is FATA-styled ballads, the rest is the FATA of old, maybe slowed down and simplified, but THIS IS FATA, AND I AM GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK...this is just a great cd, you need this...this also made me tear up a little in the way that only FATA can...great job.
