Query: What the?

I have been a HUGE Jayhawks fan for a long time. This record, unfortunately, misses in a big way. I have no problem with bands trying to "spread their wings" or explore new musical soundscapes, but this is just a mismatch, plain and simple. The songwriting suffers, the production is bland and embarassingly close to sellout, and if it didn't say "Jayhawks" on the front cover I wouldn't know which cut-and-paste band of the week I was listening to.This can't be the same band that created the beauty of Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow the Green Grass. Instead of beautiful melodies we get boring, unoriginal riffs and (shudder) drum machines. Fine for some bands, but the Jayhawks do NOT play to their strengths on this one. There are a couple of nice songs, but I can't bear to listen to this thing straight through.
