A lot different from anything they've done before, but...I like it. Its poppy, but at least its upbeat, right? I'm a big pop-rock fan, but a lot of their music's just been so...boring lately. Stuck in mid-tempo and ballad hell. The single &quot;Home&quot; from their last album was so average. Just kinda there. Its kinda funny, the way a lot of you feel about Bon Jovi, wanting them to &quot;rock&quot; again, I've felt about the Goos (and its ironic, since I just posted in the topic about the new Jovi song saying I'm fine if they don't &quot;rock&quot;, so now I sound like a hypocrite lol).<br /><br />People talk about them going pop, but they've been doing that since '98 with Dizzy Up the Girl. Listen to A Boy Named Goo and Superstar Car Wash...now THAT is how to rock. They had the perfect sound back then, pop punk meets power pop awesomeness. Robby's songs were actually good back then lol And their earliest stuff was even more rock/punk (but more lacking in hooks). So that's what I miss from these guys...songs that sounded alive. I still hope they'll rock more on the next album, but this isn't bad, so I consider it a (half) step in the right direction. At the end of the day, a good song is a good song, regardless of style. Could have been a lot worse.]]></description>

Not up there with the Gutterflower material but an interesting attempt at something different. I agree 100% with the comment about Reznik's voice too.<br /><br />There does seem to be a strange convergence towards a more pop orientated sound from certain bands these days; Matchbox Twenty, Lifehouse, Bon Jovi, Train etc. Must be a zeitgeist bandwagon type thing.]]></description>

My grip with them on the last two records hasn't been the songs, its just been the choice of producer/mixer and the direction he took those songs. I don't mind the mix on this, but it reminds more of ONE REPUBLIC! I prefer them with a little more layers, I loved GUTTERFLOWER for sound.<br /><br />But this ain't bad...]]></description>

They have another song that they played live and was on ESPN for us Americans called Last Hot Night in America, it was their usual sound. It may be a one off single that sounds like Top 40 stuff. to get new fans and airplay or something, or at least I hope.]]></description>

Not sure if I like it or hate it though. They certainly needed to try something a little different after the pretty average last album, but I'm not sure if this direction is the right one.]]></description>
