The lyrics make me want to cut my ears off, and they forgot how to write the tunes as well. The only tunes worth a listen are tick of time and see the sun.

There's not one song on the entire disc that I would consider catchy, but there's nothing profoundly different or great either...it's just bleh. The Do You Wanna Make Love to me line is one of the most ridiculous lines in music, especially coming from them. Maybe a band like the kings of leon could pull that off, but the line ruins an otherwise pretty decent sounding song. I can't say that I can imagine ANYONE who takes themselves remotley serious singing along to that. My biggest complaint? They took one b-side song that's been around forever (the single on the album) changed the lyrics to it, but used the old lyrics on another song (sway)! Is that not the most retarded thing ever? So luke says he has 80 songs written for the album, and yet he has to take one of his old songs that fans have no doubt already heard and make it into two on the new album, including the first single. Does this sound like the makings of a good band to anyone else? I've never been this dissapointed by an album...whew, I'm out of breath.
