    Whereas previous albums took a massive leap into noise and danger, this disappoints.

    It’s a sad affair best summed up by the title track.

    While Sound City Studios was unforgettable, this glorified jam session is not. It’s uneven and top-heavy.

    If listening to sentimental techno ballads about giving up the days of tits and cocaine is what you want to do with an hour of your time, look no further.

    They don't stray from what they know and they don't tarry from their blueprint. It's just that they don't know much and their blueprint was done in crayon. [#5, p.92]

    This isn't a case of a band branching into a new sound as much as becoming a new band altogether. And this one just doesn't make the cut.
