After the greatness that was Nebraska, we get kind of a meh album here. It wasn't particularly bad, it just didn't really seem remarkable in any way. It seems so non descript compared to the other albums on this list; I am curious why it was included.
That said, after the recent string of terrible albums, "not bad" is actually refreshing. It was music I could write to without getting overly distracted, so there is some value in that. I could clearly see some of the influences behind the album (Bowie perhaps?), but unfortunately, it didn't have a distinct voice of its own.
Apparently, the band would urinate in their guitars while they were recording this. Artists are such sensitive souls.
RATING: 3/5
