Im listening to it now...so far every song feels exactly the same.

Hey VG, what’s your history with the band? All your comments in this thread have been negative, but you’re listening to the new album. Were you a fan at one time and hope they’lll surprise you or have you always disliked them and hate listened because of the accolades and you’re trying to understand? You have RM history, so I know you’re not just a troll. I’m just genuinely curious. A one time “fuck this overrated band” post would do, but you’re here. I’ll bet Bain and I can come up with albums of career spanning b-sides you’d like better than the new album.

had this on in the background yesterday, sounded like one long bowie impression

This was my take as well.

Album started off pretty cool. Unique in a way and different than expected but it continued on down the same path and felt like one long song by the end.

Over it.

Major disappointment...curious if they can come back or if this is it.

performance art. method acting. it seems like people make theae accusations everytime they can't relate to something. it's merely artistic expression.

that's a stretch. i don't relate to Mariah Carey, but I don't think she's performance art or method acting.

the same can't be said for lenny though

Do they? I'm not sure I've ever seen that before.

*anytime they can't relate to an artist they used to relate to
