That's a great review you wrote, SGR. Many of your comments I would've liked to have made myself, and you have shown me that the lyrics were if anything worse than I imagined. I'm glad I pretty much ignored them all.

You get some synth sparkles and strings every now and then, like “My Life Without Me”. Synth sparkles….sparkles…what sparkles…? Vampires!? Well they didn’t used to sparkle, but in more recent times they have, primarily in Twilight, the famous book series by Stephenie Meyer. Why do I bring that up? Well, I can’t get that book cover out of my head when I look at this album cover - very similar - I wonder if there was some visual inspiration here, perchance?

That's a clever comparison - and worth pointing out as an indication that most of the ideas throughout are secondhand and derivative. Nothing new, original or interesting to see here folks!
ME:
"That one was punchier, but only relatively so."
SGR:
"... eventually the song kinda explodes a bit, and by explode, I mean sorta like a teapot that starts whistling - it explodes relative to the standard calm this album has established."
No doubt here who wins the prize for good writing; well done, SGR !
