It's strange that you and I are coming from opposites ends of the spectrum on A Different Kind Of Truth. Like I said in my original review, it wasn't gelling with me. It was a slightly above average album for me the first time around. But now that I have basically been playing it non stop from last night and all day today and right this very second, it's getting better and better for me. I'm totally into it right now and I'm not even close to being done with it. I do get what you mean by 13 songs though. What's the average VH-Dave song per album? 8-9? So, yeah it is different from just a 30 minute in and out album. You're just used to only that length with Dave is my guess.

But I can tell you this, if the VH boys had released this one with only 8 or 9 songs, fan backlash would be out in full force complaining about getting "gypped" and not getting their money's worth. As you know, CD's have changed the music landscape for all artist to pack more songs on newer releases.

Stick with the album. If that doesn't work, at least Stay Frosty, Motherf ucker!
