I hate people that say stuff like "well, real X fans" or "the real X fans." However, I am going to have to say it, the real X fans know that this album SUCKS! It is so over-produced, so pop-heavy, so....awful. The absence of Ray Manzarek is painfully obvious. Look, I saw X numerous times, I own all of their CDs and still worship them. However, this CD does not make the rotation, because it is crap. And I am not saying that all albums suck after the the first four classics. "See How We Are" is very good. So, if you feel I am betraying X by bashing this CD, so be it.
