Title: Wow, this is pretty awful.
Review: Its annoying when people scream "sellout" at the drop of a hat, so I really wanted to give the Machines the benefit of the doubt here. In the best-case scenario, a band changes when they're honestly pushing themselves in new directions...then its only the narrow-minded fans who are left whining and complaining. Unfortunately, that's not the case here. This album is pretty awful. Gone are the bouncing rhythms, the manic time-changes, and basically all the energy this band once had. The new songs just feel hollow. Yeah, they're more melodic, but at the expense of everything else. The songs plod along in predictable alt-rock fashion and the lyrics really aren't THAT strong that they deserve to be the center of attention here. Really, the best thing this band ever had going for it was the ability to make people jump around like crazy and thats exactly what they don't do here.
