Jason and Matthew, I love your carefully thought out critiques.
I have listened to it all the way through several times. I think it's the closest they've gotton back to TCATS. The production isn't overly perfect. I overly slick production on Rock and Roll Discs. The best thing about TCATS was that it had a very organic feel to it, and the disc has that same feel. It's not perfect...and Dave seems to get bogged down here and there both lyrically and musically.
