This was painful to listen. The album is one of the worst I have ever listened to and I have listened to some bad albums in my life. Everything about it is so bad. The lyrics are corny and cheesy, muscially it is the same thing you hear all the time. no originality, overproduced, glossy, boring, cliched and corny. The lead singers voice is annoying ( I don't think he sounds like Eddie Wedder that much. I like Pear Jam by the way). Not just that but the band members especially the lead singer is so egotistical and self-absored and indulgient that it gets so annoying by the minute. It is a shame because the other band members know how to play but they surely do not know how to write songs and the singer could easily sing differently and make something good out of his voice.I give them 2 stars because they obviously spent a lot of time in the studio making this sad exscuse for an album.
