| gotta say I partially enjoy the album. But the way I would enjoy other mediocre rock albums...I'm fairly certain I wont give a shit in a few weeks. It's fun to listen to in parts, but it's not the piece of art I would've expected. I feel quite let down by whoever wrote the lyrics: "I'll stay trapped inside my hell, where it's so hot that my walls melt" "We'll be in the street looking thunder in the face, singing nananananana I wont change" You're right, that kinda lacks subtlety lol > Indeed I thought Prize Fight Lover was the best song too. > The whole situation is crazy: > 1) Best song from the recording sessions doesn't make the > album > 2) Best song has the least amount of vocal processing on > it as far as I can tell (Meat's vocals sound a bit more > rough/natural on there whereas I think the rest have been > ProTool-ed to bits as Covallo almost points out on the DVD > you get with the set) > 3) The lack of vocal protools "over"-engineering doesn't > make a damn bit of difference and still makes the best > song the best song so think they concentrated on the wrong > thing(s) really with the rest of the album...? > > I honestly thought the album would grow on me (I was VERY > enthusiastic going by the early sound clips released) and > I gave the album a crazy amazing review on the meat loaf > site which I now absolutely regret posting.
