I bought this album after hearing the song "Lazy Eye."I really don't agree with all the people making the Smashing Pumpkins comparison.I'm a huge SP fan and I don't mean this to make the Silversun Pickups sound bad or anything but I don't think they can be compared.I just think people want to sound smart when they write these reviews by bringing up other bands they know or have heard of.But anyway back to the review:I'm listening to the album as I write this.The songs are good.They sound rich and I don't think anything should be added or taken out.They're the kind of songs that make you bob your head in the car.I think this album will appeal to a lot of people,whether you like rock,indie or whatever.I'd say it's worth your money.I have to say though that near the end of the album I fell asleep.Literally.Sorry.That's why it's 4 stars.My favorite songs are "Melatonin" and "Little Lover's So Polite."
