Spot on. Awesome review, I couldn't agree more.

I agree somewhat. I want to like the song, but it's just far too repetitive for its own good.

I think by going back to their roots, it would mean actually writing a decent melody here and there. That's where I feel this release fell short the most. And they could at least throw in some catchy guitar leads like they had before, but they just weren't even trying with this one.
