Title: Disappointed.
Product review: After all the hype about this album from the music press, I was ready to be blown away. Unfortunately, the whole record is so lightweight, so middle of the road, I couldn't even get through a first listen. I WAS SO BORED. This wasn't a fresh look at love, just a tired rehash of love's cliches. The melodies weren't even remotely inspiring, and the writing made me want to strangle them both. I think this may have been the single worst listening experience of my life, actually. I've never before halted a record without listening to it the whole way through, that's how bad it was. In a word, lack-lustre. Your money would be better spent elsewhere. (And, on a side note, what is the deal with the Smiths inspired album art, including the ripped off type face of their "best of" albums? Yeesh.)
