    The experimentation Joel has used in this album is refreshing. The use of synthesizers has given this album a new approach and way to look at electronical music.

The use of synthesizers has given this album a new approach and way to look at electronical music. I have noticed that the majority of people rating, reviewing, analyzing and listening to this album say that they cannot stand Joels monotonous voice but I feel as though this rather automatonic voice mixed with the inspirational and abnormal sounds are something utterly divine. Alot of critics also stated that they strongly disliked the lyrics because they were pessimistic, dark and saddening but I feel as though these songs intertwine sadness with happiness because the beats are uplifting yet the lyrics are depressing. In a nutshell buy this album. Expand

  2. The songs could all get away with at least half of the words they currently employ.
  3. It's not easy listening, it's scarcely fashionable,... and, to be frank, it's not exactly the best advert for Joel's generally estimable talents.
