Title: Oh dear. Make sure you heard it before you buy it.
Product review: After their first three albums, I was really looking forward to this new release. Unfortunately I felt that it to be an all-round disappointment -- but I realise that the band has a progressive style, and they're probably just moving away from my tastes. If you're thinking of buying this album based upon their previous albums' standards, I'd strongly recommend that you listen to the track previews beforehand. The artwork is less imaginative than previous albums, and I was disappointed by the unashamed commercialism in the lining notes. The songs seem dull and half-hearted, and (with the exception of track thirteen) the no-holds-barred, all-out crazy performances have gone, replaced with sample-based mediocrity. Perhaps it'll grow on me. Probably not.
