Well?




I have to say, just average. I find only 5 or 6 of the 17 songs particularly good.

Best thing they ever did was Birdhouse, and that was awful.

Record companies never wanted albums to have a bunch of good songs. They wanted one or two songs to lure people into buying the album then when you got it home and played it, you quickly realize the album sans those two good songs were all crap.

That went on until the internet and downloading come into play. Now people can get the song or songs they want without buying an album filled with filler crap.

The record companies for decades made gobs of money by selling people less for more.

I think the only song they ever did that was tolerable to me at all was the one they didn't actually write.

Yeah, this is the type of band some hipster would claim is great.

Amazing they have survived as long as they have without any huge songs.
