No i'm not, most magazines were freaking (or cuming shock!) out over them for doing what many had been hoping (or dreaming shock!) for a band to use the internet the way they did to blow up, hence the wetdream for the webzines. And yes, if you don't like them fine but coming in and calling them trash and pulling out the same argument for each song even if it really doesn't fit? Pretty bulls
hitty.

Well going by that logic, most intros "don't fit" isn't Lifted your favorite album? That whole boring five minutes of Blake and Jenny talking is completely pointless. Plus it flows into the song perfectly, which is what most intros do.

#2- I found the lyrics to be annoying and the music was lacking, just bored me to death.
|
Yes, and no shock you would. How about instead of coming into the album with premade biases because the singer wears eyeliner you appreciate it for what it is which is a fantastic pop music and one of the best things on the radio? I don't see how you could consider this music lacking, its better than most pop-rock songs and is a fast paced upbeat and far from boring song.

#3- Lame lyrics that seemed childish, music is too simple and is basically background to the vocals, gets really crappy at 2:30.
|
The music is too simple? You listen to folk, and most music is just background to the vocals in pop, though i'd consider this much different since they mix it up with pianos and synthesizers in addition to the bass/guitar/drum thing that every pop rock band pulls.

#4- I like the intro, vocals are too wavy, the melody is too simple but the lyrics are good.
|
Welcome to most pop-rock music, they don't pull out intricate riffs if you want that go to listen to metal.

#5- Vocals are good, boring rhythm, the structure is dull.
|
Welcome to most pop-rock music, they follow the same structure in fact most music does in general so I don't see why that should be a problem.

#6- The lyrics are good but the structure again sucks and the lyrics are just suck.
|
The lyrics are good and the lyrics are just suck? What?
Quote:

#7- My favorite track, I like the lyrics and the music is good and fits perfectly.
|
I really don't understand how this one can be good, it follows the same verse/chorus format.

#8- Random rave music? reminds me of Sandstorm.
|
It wasn't random, it fit in well when the mood of the album changed.

#9- I'm getting tired of them incorporating sexual stuff in to their lyrics, vocals are good, sounds good when the music pauses.
|
Yet your favorite song was Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off...
Quote:
#10- God this sucks, kill me!
#11- Nice intro, guitar sounds good, good vocals, my second favorite track.
#12- This sucks, he needs to not write about clothes and burlesque crap this much, it's getting repetitive and old. The music is good though.
#13- Intro sucks but the lyrics are good and the melody is boring.
So yeah, far more boring, repetitive and crappy moments than good moments.

I don't really feel the need to reply to the rest of this because its basically the same counter argument, you're just constantly going to bust out crappy, boring, repetitive which is weird because Elliott Smiths repetitive as hell but you never give him crap about it. I think you need to learn to appreciate the album for what it is, a pop album constructed for mainstream radio and each song could've easily been a single which says alot for the majority of albums out today in that whole taking back sunday scene.
