I've been a less than jake fan since hello rockview. I think this album is slightly worse than Anthem. I wasn't overall pleased with anthem, but there are 4 good songs on there that I listen to regularly (Welcome to the New South, Short Fuse Burning, Plastic Cup Politics, and Look What Happened[even though the original is still better]). Those anthems are solid and hard rocking. This album on the other hand does not seem to have any standout songs. It just seems watered down with lame choruses and less energy than anthem. Although I don't particularly like this CD so far, it is Less Than Jake, and I will listen to it until I like it.
