not as pleased with this as i thought i'd be, the songwriting's progressed that's for sure, but the sound lost alot of that punch the band initially had on the debut and sophomore albums
I disagree with people saying it lacks the spark of the earlier albums. Like the others I feel the album is a grower, it is filled with great hooks but they do not immediately plant themselves in your brain, it takes a few listens to really get them. However, this is why the album doesn't tire itself out quickly like similar bands' albums. Another great collection of well written, catchy songs from a very cool band.
