This is a very uninspiring album. Only a couple tunes are catchy, none are edgy. I wish they could sing a different type of background vocal, and I'm tired of the waahh-waahh guitar sound in the background, present both on this album and Hear in the Now Frontier. I used to LOVE these guys, and have been a fan since the EP and The Warning came out and I blasted them in my dorm room while studying. I think nearly all of us agree that Promised Land was the creative end of the band, they're just putting out stuff now for the sake of supporting them and their families. It's okay, we'll always have Mindcrime, which has enough genius in it than most band's entire discography.
