You offered no insight on the style/genre/overall sound of the album. I do hope you are not getting paid to do reviews. Aside from your ADD, you are downright awful at understanding music. this review is very elementary. You offered no insight on the style/genre/overall sound of the album.

I've been to four shows in the last year. If that's not enough times to be up to date on the band's wardrobe, I'm sorry. The arrangements are dull, the melodies are nothing to write home about, and the lyrics are ok in some places. yeah, I missed all that. I've been to four shows in the last year.

This seems to be a critique of something so mundane and trivial as garments, yet you seem to have missed the profundity of lyrics and well constructed melodies and arrangements. Not to mention the congruity of theme. The brown leather vest has been worn for years, as well as bandanas.

I have to say that I did cite something other than the length as a problem. I said that I just don't think the songwriting is strong enough. For me, the songwriting is the basis of any album, from hip hop to heavy metal. So if the songwriting isn't strong enough, that's always going to be a problem for me.

I'm EXACTLY of the same mind with regards to album length. I think that a 15 song good album can almost always be whittled down to a 10 song great album, and should. In this case though, I don't find the album too long at all. Admittedly I've only listed to it all the way through a few times, but there isn't a song here that I would cut - if I had to, maybe "Incomplete and Insecure", but anything more would feel stunted to me.<br><br>I guess what I feel is strange about this review is the overall negative tone considering you only really express one complaint: That it's too long. You even go so far as to say that they should leave the label and change producers based on this complaint. I suspect that this stint with Rubin will be their last anyhow, but it seems odd to hinge so much disappointment on runtime alone.<br><br>Oh well, your job is to say what you think. Interesting.

I guess what I feel is strange about this review is the overall negative tone considering you only really express one complaint: That it's too long.

Oh well, your job is to say what you think.
