Yep, it's weird how some songs kinda sound generic. I'm sure the band didn't expect it to sound that way but it kinda does.

Is this a bit Eddie Vedder-ish?

I think that this album doesn't show the growth or potential that their earlier albums express. "In Your Gun" was probably their climax as far as musical genius, depth, and pure playing power. Its been a downward spiral from there (not a big spiral mind you) with this album and I see them making more money and increasing their fan base all of which is good.

But for me, myself, I think this album doesn't cut it.

You can think whatever the hell you want.

Remember, we come here to express our opinions and share common (or uncommon thoughts). Your point is well taken. I just don't care for your intepretation of my opinion.

sounds like they found a few good hooks and kinda patched 'em together . . .

Maybe I live in my own pop-culture bubble. Would being as widely known as Gnarls Barkley be all that widely known?

Who is Gnarls Barkley?

As for this song... Not as good as some of the others being played off this album, but not bad.

This isn't my favorite song on the album, but it's good to hear something different from the album being represented....I cannot get tired of these guys, though. Just too good.

I like this song because it is Gomez, but I can't shake the feeling this is what Coldplay would sound like after smoking a hookah. Good song, but nowhere near the heights of Bring it on.

Yeah, well, given the choice between musical artistry, integrity, and total loyal fan base or the prospect of money, more money, and more money I may be inclined towards the latter too. Then again, Gomez may be driven by the desires of their record label which is really driven by the bottom dollar like most enterprises in America, right?

Anyway, I've posted my disappointment with this band's new album before and I will again. It is not up to their quality work.

Bill must really like Gomez. Plays the band almost every day.

It would be cool to have a overall average rating for all songs of the band.

Sounds kind of like the lead singer from Live.

Otherwise, not particularly impressive.

Yeah, you'd think by the average rating, they'd realize everyone isn't sooooo impressed.

I agree with previous comments about the commercial sound to this.. that dropped it a little lower for me.

I'm a big fan of Gomez, but at first listen this doesn't do much for me. Sounds made for FM radio.
