It's hard to quite say whether or not I like the album. Some songs were great (The Mother We Share) and others were, IMO, so bad that I couldn't sit through the song (You Caught the Light). It doesn't even sound like the same band at some points.

I don't know if it's the genre, the artist, or the album, but there were only two things going through my head while listening. The first is that most of the songs are generic and bland. Stuff that I'd imagine hearing while in a public area. Background noise. The other thing going through my head was: I bought good headphones so I don't have to hear sound distortion and low quality music. Honestly, the album would probably sound the same no matter which speakers you play it through. And that might be a good thing for some, but for me it kind of just wrecks the experience.

That said, overall, the album is fine if I want to throw on something and just kind of have it as background music. But I don't see myself actively going out and listening to more albums or concerts or anything.

Some of the songs are pretty good though. I'm wondering if the songs are made by several band members, with each having "control" over a song. It's easy to see why these guys got popular in such a short time.
