    Maybe their edge was lost in the lukewarm production. Maybe it was lost in Barney’s lyrics, which are as utterly meaningless as they have been for years now. Maybe it was just lost altogether.

    For the life of me I cannot fathom how people can claim this album is any sort of return to form.

    I like the first six songs, but things do get a little too poppy, and gimmicky after that. The Song itself "Waiting for the Sirens Call" is amazing.
