*Pretty good*

(3 out of 5 stars)
"I would second that review of 3 stars. I bought this album after seeing the video for "We are not a rock band" on mtv2. I am a little bit disappointed because that video rocks and so does the song. To then go and listen to the album is then kind of a letdown. Don't get me wrong, this is an interesting record with definite high points, but its not great. My favorite song is "Freestyle Disco"...its like how-to-dance instructions mixed over a heavy beat that gets progressively louder and faster (to increase the difficulty as the dancer gets better)...pretty cool idea. It has the same light-hearted, fun vibe that "We are not a rock band" does. There are lulls in the album though, a lot of the same heavy baselines tend to run together. I do like this album however; its great to throw on if you're driving, or like me right now sitting at the computer kicking back. I'd say burn it before you buy it though."
