I can't remember the last CD that I purchased that I could play from begining to end without skipping a track. This is the group's most consistant effort so far, and guess what, it was the one in which they had the most creative freedom. Everyone wants to under-estimate and hate these guys, and what's really funny is that none of they're critics can say why. If you don't like pop music (music that is aimed at the general public) then who are you to have anything to say negative? Listen to what you like. If you like Pop music, this is the one you'll want to purchase. From powerful sultry ballads such as Selfish, Gone and Something Like You to high energy dance tracks with a European 2 step feel such as Pop, Girlfriend and Up Against the Wall, this album hands down is your next entertainment purchase! And believe me it is very entertaining. We won't even mention the effort that went into the concert.
