I honestly did not expect to find a review of The Wallflowers here at absolutepunk. I'm glad I have. I, too, am a guy who...well, Craig, your review summed up pretty much everything I've ever experienced with The Wallflowers. Also, thanks for saying good things about Rebel, Sweetheart. That album received so much flack when it was released and I always thought it was completely unwarranted--it's so good!

Anyway. I've been really, really reluctant to check out this new record because the samples I've heard are so vastly different from what I know and love from this band. This review has slightly helped ease my mind. I'm still really hesitant to approach it, though.
