Title: A disappointing album
Review: I have been listening to ACLOTM over and over, hoping it will grow on me and it hasn't. I find the album to be an intermediary between the styles of "Morning View" and "Light Grenades." There are traces of the Incubus from "Make Yourself" but you can clearly hear the direction the band is taking. Very pop, not much rock. The lyrics are trying to hold onto the social commentary and self-awareness of the earlier works but the music behind them is weak. Unoriginal, awkward, predictable melodies and vocals are found in most of the songs. It feels like they were deliberately trying to write radio-friendly songs that pander to the lowest common denominator listeners. It's albums like this that have kept me from buying anything that's been on the radio in the past decade because most of it is lame. I'm not as disappointed in ACLOTM as I am in "Light Grenades" though. I'm not sure why Incubus chose this musical path but I hope they do an about-face for their next album.
