Yeah I heard the home recordings were good. I can respect trying different sounds and not trying to replicate past success but to me it sounds like they put more effort into their music on the first two albums and then they said "hey, let's just play straight forward rock n roll... why bust our asses? we already have fans".

Songs like "Greatest man who lived" is an exception, even though that song is a fractured mess I can appreciate it probably took them a while to construct it.
