Negative Positive
Title: A Huge Let-Down
Review: Where are those instrumental and melodic hooks that defined this band? The haunting, and beautifully simple guitar parts which struck you on "A Rush..." are either gone or are buried in a wall of dreary washes of sound, and the vocals drone and whine away without the resolution or glorious crescendo of the band's outstanding first two albums. Everything sounds labored and overworked. These poor guys must be buckling under the weight and hype of being "the new U2"...all those expectations. I actually feel sorry for them.
Is the review positive or negative?
