It is a shame that they chose to go down the route of bombastic, excessive and ultimately pretentious pop-rock instead of something a little bit more modest and refined. The album gets a 4 out of 10 because the better songs (that are obviously made for single release) are kind of enjoyable in that they make you smile as you try and stifle your laughter.
