I didn't hate it? I didn't hate it!

With some of those other controversial albums, it was clear after one listen that I wasn't going to like them because I couldn't find any "anchoring" song to latch onto. The 2nd and 3rd listens then feeling like pulling teeth and just further cement my negative feelings. Thankfully that was not the case here, and if anything I think the 2nd and 3rd listens helped a bit. Immaterial is obviously very catchy. Outside of that though, there's still something here, even if songs like Ponyboy and Faceshopping can get a bit too harsh/industrial for my taste.

Is this a favorite of mine? No. Am I likely to listen to it again? ...Probably not. But certainly it's better for me than some of the other controversial albums we've covered.
