 Many long-time fans criticized the album's sound, which bore little relation to the gothic/folk/progressive rock of the band's past.With the band now consisting solely of leader Warren Defever and vocalist Lovetta Pippen, an experienced soul and gospel singer who had first appeared as a part of a gospel choir on 1996's Stars on ESP, "Someday..." is basically a straightforward soul and R&B album.This was the first HNIA album without long-time vocalist Karin Oliver, whose unique vocal range was, for many fans, the band's key element.
