    I've got the same complaint as everyone else. This album is a beautiful dream that is once in a while interrupted by lines like "I have weird memories of you pissing in a sink, I think."

    A step backwards from 'Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers': arrangements and melodies are worse than on the previous album.

    granted the lead singer has an effecting voice, but this disc is so banal and lifeless - i can think of half a dozen bands doing this much better with much more interesting chord changes and guitar work. i think rolling stone and pop matters had it right. pop matters - a little harsh but not far off. the others all wanna jump on the 'isn't it great' bandwagon.

    very overrated and boring. Nothing really amazing here, it just isn't memorable.
