I read the review and was a bit skeptic of Blink changing their sound so much, but got the cd since I've been a fan for about 5 years. The lyrics are weak in spots (particularly "Violence"), Mark's voice sounds like it's degenerating in some tracks, and Tom's vocals don't fit in some songs. They did surprise me with their instrumental techniques, though. It's nothing compared to some bands, but I think it's great that they're trying new things and getting more experimental. Also, the fact that they got Robert Smith to sing on one track is an instant brownie point or two. Although it's not revolutionary, I enjoy it and it's good to see that they're not entirely sticking to their old formulae. 3.5/5 here.
