 Brad Wheeler , writing for The Globe and Mail , wondered if the eponymous title was an allusion to the Atlantic Records contractual dispute . He went on to remark on the music 's combination of 90s era " guitar flash and crunch " and The Beatles . Wheeler did not think the album moved the band or its sound forward , calling it " a quasi @-@ comeback album that neither defiles nor builds upon the band 's legend . " Amirose Eisenbach of IGN wrote that the music was not " anything especially unique " . Eisenbach analyzed several tracks , observing that some songs " start off promising " only to result in " uninspired , generic hooks , " while other songs struggle with their musical direction . Despite this , Eisenbach felt the album had " enough going on inside the album 's 41 minutes that it 's worth a listen . "
