Album Rating: 3.0
Yeah, I'd say the album is enjoyable... But I don't rate it up against their back catalogue.
I guess the thing that frustrates me about the saints is that they have made some great sales over the last 5 or so years, so the money "should" be there. I mean, not many English teams in even the Premier League have been able to make sales like the Walcott & Bale ones (let alone others like Kenwyne Jones, Crouchy, Delap, Beattie, Baird, etc, etc, etc...)

I'm glad I downloaded this a month ago and let it grow on me, I appreciate it a lot more now than I did then.
Better than Agony and Irony.

Trust me Jimmy, I've also given it every chance to grow... & it did to some extent. But now that I've moved on, it does NOT demand me coming back to it. 'Agony & Irony' demands me more than this due to its highlight tracks at the beginning.

Well, it's hard to discount the striking similarities, but it's refreshing to hear the response that was given. Moving on is the way to go.

Andriano makes this album.

A strong argument can be made that Andriano has been Alk3's MVP from near the very beginning.

2.5 suggests average. That's a fairer rating/comment considering there is some good on it.

Sad to have to give this group such a low score on any album. But even though this album had some staying songs ("This Addiction," "Lead Poisoning," "Dine, Dine My Darling"-- notice, they're the first three songs... I think) it got even less replay from me than "Agony & Irony."
I miss the good ole' days. I'm not one to down on progression, but this is just getting stagnant.

All fair comments boogeyman. "Stagnant" is a good word to use. As I mention in the review, you can tell what they were trying to do, but it didn't fully come off.

I dont think this album is that bad. Then again alk3 could never put out a bad album.
Matt just went through a divorce so when putting that into play it kind of makes the album better. This is for sure a cd you have to listen to a few times before really feeling it.
I've been saying for a while now that Dan is the better vocalist and its real evident when listening to this cd. Yes, he has less songs, but every song he has is gold. Granted his songs are more happy now since he's happily married but they still just have that feeling and his vocals really help with that effect. No singer can sound like Dan and I think that's really the strong appeal in his portion of the songs.
Overall, this album does show some old school Trio sound. Is it God dammit? No. But for as long as these guys have been in the game this album has been one of their better ones in years.
Great songs: Dead On The Floor, Piss and Vinegar, The American Scream and every Dan song!

Definitely not a bad album (hence my summary comment & rating of 3=good) & definitely one you should let grow... But I still prefer their last few releases over this.

Gotta agree with some other people, its a grower. I was pretty disappointed when i first heard it, but after a while its not as bad as a 1 or 2. The problem is every previous album had catchy songs, which is what i like about them.
Davebou, your right, stagnant is the perfect word for them right now

The tough thing for Alk3 is that they have amassed such an excellent back-catalog that most are gonna compare any new album to their favorite couple from the past.

Or they could just keep touring & not release a new album until they have 11 quality tracks.
