Fair enough, but you have to at least keep in mind... out of 6 full length albums, and countless EP's (Sad Clown Bad __'s) they have done approximately one song like 'Guarantees', exactly one. I don't think it's fair to judge their catalog off of one track that deviates from their normal style. Sounds like their normal style just isn't your cup of tea anyway, but fyi 'Guarantees' wouldn't even crack their top 50 in my opinion...

This album is middle of the pack or below average for them, maybe on par with YCIHMFWH, but still quality stuff.

And then, just when you think you've got the whole blah'd damn thing figured out
And you're surrounded by the ones you blah
Death shows up... anddd blah, blah, blah.
