I'm still on disc one...sounds pretty good, my favorite song so far is
"Dani California". I think the sound on some of the tracks have too
much distortion though, I don't know why this wasn't noticed before the
cd was finished.

I'm really struggling with it....I like Dani California but then there isn't
another stand out for me until track 8. Only half listened to disk 2 once so
can't comment on that yet.
Absolutlely hate that bomp de bomp de bomp shite on disk 1.

I haven't been overly impressed with the album. I agree, Dani
California is pretty good but there are a few more decent ones on the
first CD. I really like Snow though I think it goes on for far too long
with a very boring repeated section at the end. I think I am going to
cover this with my band, in that case I'll think we'll just cut the end
bit and write something better. I like the funky rhythmic lyrics in the
chorus both in Dani and Snow.

What I thought was cool was their attempt at a more BSSM funky groove
merged with their more modern sound.

The title track isn't that great. I did like She's Only 18 not just coz
of the lyrics but I thought the chorus was pretty cool. Slow Cheetah is
very nice harmonically. I liked that song alot. Has Anthony's voice
improved? Certainly for Slow Cheetah his range seems amazing.

My main impression was that most of the songs are OK but that none of
the melodies are that memorable, save perhaps for Dani California
which, thanks to its single status has been drilled into us.

I have the feeling the songs will sound better live in a packed venue
though I am gutted they are not playing Millennium Stadium. Coventry
all the way.

Snow, and a number of other tracks on disk1 have grown on me over the last
week, you're right about that particular track being too long though.
Still don't think the album is in anything like in the same league as
Californication or By The Way, but I like it better than BSSM. Having said
that, with the exception of the excellent Desolation Smile, there's nothing
much stands out on disk 2 for me at all. Are there many people here that
think they were justified releasing it as a two disk set?

Still lookin forward to the live show....
