I had pretty much the same reaction to this album as I did to "The Blurred Crusade" by The Church, so I'll re-post my review for that one (with a couple of edits.)

The production sounds typically bright/clean and treble oriented for albums of that style and time, which is something I've never liked. If there were any rough edges to the music, it's as if they were smoothed off and polished to the point of blandness.
Not a particularly bad album, it just bored me and went in one ear and out the other without captivating my attention or imagination.
