I know it doesn't really sound that bad, but in the context of what a badass, in-your-face song Yonkers is I just think it's a travesty.

Hm... I was joking the first time, but after another listen I've realized it actually is pretty awful. He even changes the lyrics... ugh.

I'm sure you just heard Nightmare...I'm just waiting for you to add it to your list.

And after listening to the album, I feel that it's good, but not as good as I expected. Tracks 1 through 7 are brilliant, but 8 through 15 kind of drop off and just aren't as strong, with the exception of Window...which is powerful, but it is overly long. Fish seems disjointed, Analog isn't memorable and Taco and Jasper Dolphin are annoying on Bitch Suck Dick and the song doesn't actually fit into the overall story until the very end. There's an instrumental between Window and Golden that doesn't add anything to the album. The final track though, Golden, makes up a little bit for the lackluster second half because it is incredibly powerful, angry, and finally absolutely self-referential, like the album is supposed to be. Overall though I have to say due to the weak middle it is not as good as Bastard, I'll have to give it more listens before I decide if I'm actually really disappointed or not. There are brilliant tracks on here too, like Goblin, Yonkers, Nightmare and Transylvania, but I just don't love it like I expected I would.

Seems to be getting a lot of hate on last.fm and /mu/ ... why? I guess most people who were drawn in by "Yonkers" probably aren't musically discerning enough or tolerant of Tyler's ramblings and experiments. I think it's pretty awesome, and will definitely go down as one of my favorites of the year.

Really good. There are some weak spots, and that mainly goes with what Charlemagne was saying above. Out of the "new" tracks, Goblin is definitely my favourite. Nightmare and Transylvania are really good too. Also like the producing on She alot.
