  1. Unlike its predecessor, there isn't much to dig into here; what you hear upon that first listen is exactly what you get.
  2. This is music precision-built for vast stadiums. [Aug 2006, p.112]
  3. 30
    Only one song exhibits any nuance or creativity--a cover of Supertramp's 1977 lark "Give a Little Bit." [May 2006, p.106]

    Disappointed to find such a 'quiet' album... none of the usual Big Machine or Flattop brilliance. The trademark hooks are still there and the title track has it's moments... but little more. I blame Glen Ballard- what were they thinking? Expand

    If you like this cd, you never liked the GGD's. One size fits all approach that is flat overproduced and lazy. I love songs like NAME, Black Ballon, and Iris, so its not a ballad issue. Hey Johnny where are the guitars tracks??????????? Fire the orchestra keyoard guy, and get back to basics! Its a sad day in Buffalo! I can listen to it but I'm pushing myself. Oh, by the way, the cover song thing is getting old. Expand
