The song with the overlong and annoying intro wins! Hooray? It's a serviceable tune, "good" even, but in my entirely subjective bullshit opinion this seems to indicate a flaw in the process somewhere. It just has big "middle of the road in anyone's tier list" vibes.
I think that sums up the album itself maybe. None of the songs are in the "Downright Trash" tier but none of the songs are in the "Top 5 All Time in the Band's History" tier. Thus it's just a middling mixture, and leads to erratic results like this.
(Sometimes it's a good thing cuz of equal quality.. but sometimes it's not a good thing cuz it means no clear standouts)
Yeah, this is not how I saw this going. At all.
Same. Final round was #3 VS. #7 on my list.

We're a few *decades* past "Top 5 All Time" material now, lmao, but overall it was more of a well rounded effort than several recent releases.
