Title: Overrated
Product review: I listened to this a few times but I don't think the music is that great, and the prosy religious/moral themes in many of the lyrics turned me off. I bought this because I really loved many of the songs on At Dawn, but I don't hear any of the best qualities of that CD on this one. The songs here have better musicianship and production quality, but the emotional content that I feel I can connect with is less.Besides that, it's curious to me how so many other reviewers think this music "ROCKS!". When I think of a band that rocks, I think of something like The New York Dolls or Nirvana, not Wilco, Radiohead, or MMJ. I'm just saying that so readers know where I'm coming from; everyone has their own concept of what rocks. I think Wilco is ok, but somewhat boring, and I find the vaunted Radiohead whiny and annoying. So if you feel that way too, you won't like this CD.
