This could very well be the worst album ever made by a major rock band that is of a high degree of talent and influence. And that takes some doing. In some ways, this album's awfulness is an awe-inspiring achievement. Everything, from the vocals to the arrangements to the songwriting, is spectacularly ill-conceived. It may well prove to be one of those albums that effectively snuffs out a band's career. And perhaps it should be heard just for just that reason alone ---to show musicians what NOT to do when your talent and ego overfloweth.
