But surely the music isn't <i>that</i> bad? This actually exceeded my expectations, which were fairly low. There's definitely a 70s AM rock vibe to a lot of it (shades of ELO), but I thought it was done pretty well. Nothing groundbreaking, admittedly, but not <i>that</i> awful.

The songwriting is just Americana-by-numbers, and what is up with that production? Sounds like Bon fucking Jovi. Wish I’d just stuck to taking the piss out of the cover art now.

First song sounds like an M Ward song sung by Conor Oberst with My Morning Jacket style harmonies. Second song sounds a little like an M Ward song sung by M Ward with some Bright Eyes type harmonies. Granted, the name of the band and album brings a little sick into my mouth, but other than that this really isn't all that bad at all. Over reaction of the year perhaps guys?
