Review title: Brad Roberts should stick to what he does best
Product review: This is the first CTD album produced by band members. It shows. The melodies and words that made the first two albums worth repeated listening are hidden behind a needless attempt to add 'edge', 'a raw sound', or 'energy'. I've heard Roberts discuss (after the first albums) how his live shows had a harder edge, and it seems that he felt that this would translate well into this album. My advice: let a professional who understands the nature of studio recording produce the work, and save the 'edge' for the concerts, where energy counts for much more.
