Title: Pretty average CD.
Product review: This is my first purchase of a 311 CD, and I didn't really know what to expect from it. I like to buy a new band once in a while to expand the music library. So I am not a "previously hooked" follower of this band and am basing my review of this CD on this release alone.If I had only listened to this CD once, I would have given it a 1 star rating... At first it comes off pretty simple and repetitive. The biggest problem I had with this CD is how the guitarist and drummer get stuck into "power chord/bass drum" ruts, where they mimic each other in mid-tempo land for entire song after song. Being a fan of musical creativity, this doesn't do much for me at all....Luckily, I gave it a second and third listen. The extra listen boosted this CD up to 2 stars, mostly because of the 13th track "Liven and Rockin", that does have a cool "living color - Cult of personality" style riff through the chorus.Pretty basic stuff here overall.....
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
