RICHARD PATRICK STILL WANTS YOU TO TAKE HIS PICTURE

Am I the only person hoping that the return of Filter would mean Richard Patrick was going to make more industrial-flavored alt rock? ‘Cause we’ve had no such luck: “Soldiers of Misfortune,” the new single currently streaming on Filter’s MySpace page, is more easy-listening in the vein of “Take A Picture,” a.k.a. “The Song that Makes Axl Rosenberg Wanna Murder Richard Patrick Every Time He Hears It.”

Look: I know Patrick ain’t gonna turn around and make a Cannibal Corpse album – and I wouldn’t want him to – but is another “Hey Man Nice Shot” or “Welcome to the Fold” too much to ask?
