-No vocals. I am sick of hearing Thurston and yes, even Lee sing. Kim is fine I guess, but on Rather Ripped she really sucked. If she has to sing, let the song be more like "Brave Men Run", and less like "What A Waste". I'm not saying that they should do another "Brave Men Run," I just mean a song as good as that one would be a joy.

-Nothing that brings to mind the term "jam band." They need to figure out a way to write lengthy songs without venturing into jam band territory. Is that too much to hope for?

-If there has to be a vocal line, please let it be different than the melody line. This is a huge pet peeve of mine, when they are the same.

-At last but not least, more METAL [insert high-pitched scream here]. But really, I think if they applied their current skills/knowledge to a genre of music that they normally wouldn't venture into, the result could be astounding. Or it could be a disaster, but you don't know unless you try.
