By about 6 songs in, I realized this CD was going in one ear & out the other, with no real standout track. It is overproduced, full of the modern day effects (electronic drum fills, vocal telephone effects, etc.). The beats to many of the songs are very much the same, each song breaks into the big sing-a-long chorus, but that's just it...they all get to sound the same. Somewhat of a moody feel to it, suspecting they're trying to fit into the current radio play style...and it doesn't work, at least for me to be an enjoyable, or memorable CD. I was disappointed - this band caught my ear by being SO different, and now this release is surprisingly predictable. There's so much studio editing here that I doubt if much of the finished product is "the actual band", or resembles what the band can do live.
