There are some really good tracks on this record, but it definitely isn't as consistent as the last.
Also, I think it's missing Matt a little bit. I know he reportedly wasn't part of the songwriting process, but he had amazing backing vocals that really added another level to songs like "Tonight Is Alive" and "Midnight Hour." |
They didn't have Matt for Toxic Kids either, did they? Backing vocals there turned out just fine. But I mean, even if turns out to be a record with a some average tracks and a few stand-out ones I'll be a little bummed but its still better than nothing.
