"Again"? Crazy talk.

Lyrically, they've always been pretty bad ("Angel lay your halo down" anyone? Also, that song was crass attempt at writing a Tom Petty style hit)and the mashup of indie rock and 70's riffage has never sat well with me. Male vocals are too Vedderesque and the female vocals are like salt on a cut in the skin. Their sole saving grace has been the increased use of synths, because their synth guy seems to know his shit. Songs are just not there, I'm afraid.

dude you're crazy. the lyrics on the first album at least rule. the last song was one of the best (of the way too few) gulf war ii protest songs. "druganaut" is top-notch too

this album really sucks

"Rule" is a pretty hefty claim! Everything is better compared to "Angel" though."Druganaut" was a great novelty single, yes. So, as far as lyrics to a novelty song go...sure, they're pretty good.

hmmmmm
"old fangs" sounds EXACTLY like if Jon Lord from Deep Purple joined Queens of the Stone Age

overall, not digging this as much as the first two so far

thought this album sounded kinda grungey, or post-grungey, like Verbena or the Vines
it isn't very good

production is really "pro" in a bad way

produced by Dave Sardy, right?
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 14 September 2010 19:21 (thirteen years ago) link
In 2006, Sardy won six ARIA awards for his work with Jet; he also received three Grammy Awards (for OK GO, Wolfmother and Marilyn Manson) and multiple Brit Awards for Oasis, Marilyn Manson and Wolfmother.
sounds about right

The cover for 'In The Future' was so try-hard 70s stylee I kind of cringed. even though the album is awesome.
ha I'm kinda the opposite. loved the album cover but I just sold that record. couldn't get into it. the first one rocks though.

Not crap exactly, I'd keep 4 or 5 tracks around, but definitely a HUGE downgrade from the last one.
