I'm not trying to tell you that you're wrong. But implore you to give this a deeper listen. There's a lot of information in there. Some you won't catch if you're not keeping your ears into it.

Don't really get how it's scathing at all (especially since I ended it on a relatively positive note), but I can see where you're coming from. I do plan to listen to it again (or at least the second album which I did prefer), as I do know that a lot of angular albums take more than the 2-3 listens that I gave this one. I merely wanted to get my two cents in to get the wheels rolling, because this entire project seems to have lost a little energy this week.
