Title: Poor sound quality distracts from music
Review: I have Full Collapse and War All the Time, both are what I consider excellent albums, and after reading all the reviews on this site, thought this album would be also. To be honest, after listening to it once, I don't have any great desire to listen again, mostly because the sound quality is a big step down from their previous albums. I'm not that picky in my music, but I don't want a band like Thursday to sound like the garage band down the street. Maybe the lyrics are great, but I'm just so distracted by the distinct decrease in sound quality that I can't appreciate the other parts. I would be OK if this was their first album, but it isn't, and I had some high expectations for this newest album. Unfortunately, it's not quite what I expected or what I like.
Is the review positive or negative?
