New DMB Streaming and the Best Review Ever

If you have any interest, here's the stream of the latest DMB album on Pandora. I took a listen. I was struggling so badly with this album: Musically, it's interesting. Vocally and lyrically, it's just a disaster. There might be 2 songs with decent lyrics and vocals to match.

So I went to the DMB fan boards to get a sense of what DMB fans are thinking. This site administrator posted his review (4.5 / 5 stars), and the forum responses poored in. I had to wade through about 50 "OMFG BEST ALBUM EVAR!" reviews to find one that gave some kind of decent criticism of the album. Eventually, I came across this gem of a paragraph, which I've edited a bit for clarity and bolded for comedy, that just encapsulates the whole problem with this album:

As for Dave’s writings not being what it used to be- I agree. Seems like well thought/deep/meaningful lyrics that music then accompanies -> cuts and pieces of jams that were then given gibberish lyrics-> some brief jams accompanied by loud noises (a few songs I thought were written by Brick Tamlin)->


So, boys and girls, can you top that review? I'd love to hear your creative slams on the new DMB.
