This cd is great. I don't know why people say they don't like it, probably because they wouldn't know good music if it slapped them across the face. The boys of GC were creative and wanted to grow with their music. Just because they were once a "rock" or "punk" or even a "pop" band doesn't mean they can put some rap or hip hop into their sound and experiment with new things. Songs like S.O.S. and Secrets are both amazing songs and it's sad that people won't see that because they expect GC to always be the same. Anyway, if you don't judge GC too harshly and you like experimenting with listening to all types of music, pick up this cd, I can guarentee I didn't regret it and neither will you!
