4.86i actually never intended to put reviews of old albums on this blog, but it doesn't really matter now. anyway this album is just 11 tracks of pure happiness. the suave, paradisical nature of the songs makes this an extremely catchy album, which is lacking, or not a feature of most bands' albums. the ability to hear the genuinity of their fun makes this even more engaging. rated excellent!

3.60this album is like a dance party from a distant planet, not really close to listeners, save for the all too familiar party rock anthem. it would be a much better listen if played at clubs. other than that, the tunes are really quite lifeless and emotionless, so are the lyrics where everything is just about party rocking. lmfao totally needs to work on a warmer dance album.

4.75without any doubt, this is one of the best album of the year. opting not to go for harder rock, they have created an album that sounds extremely comfortable to the ears, smooth and simple. i dont usually talk about a single song in an album review, but here i have to praise it's title track for satisfying my ear. it's been so long since i've heard a song that can totally make me feel like i love it with all my heart and soul (the previous one was "stereo love"). the title track is a slightly depressing, yet sometimes robust and soothing tune that seems to question one's existence, and its a definite must hear!!! anyway, back to concluding this review, nothing says it better than the first line of this paragraph.
