Sounds good on first listen. Anyone else listening?

When it loads in iTunes, the artist shows as "The Nerds."
I like about half of it, especially "You Know What."

I thought Fly or Die had some interesting moments, though not everything worked. I'd be curious to hear this at some point.

i've been meaning to start a thread on this for days, but i wasn't sure what i felt about it. it's kinda ok

Lots of yacht rock influence.

Bernie Taupin? You mean the guy who wrote this?
If you choose to, you can live your life alone Some people choose the city; some others choose the good old family home I like livin' easy without family ties Until the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me right between the eyes

Re yacht rock: Nope, not joking.

Couple of power ballads on there.

It's OK, 'Sooner or Later' is especially a good song.
― zeus, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 21:53 (seventeen years ago)
great parts all over this album but the songs dont have much direction or purpose.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 22:27 (seventeen years ago)
and theres a few too many obviously jacked riffs.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 22:28 (seventeen years ago)
I like the two-or-three-discrete-parts/movements thing in some of these songs.

"Sooner or Later" = the Nerds' "You're So Vain."
― If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Thursday, 12 June 2008 04:13 (seventeen years ago)
i don't actually listen to elton john
― jaxon, Thursday, 12 June 2008 04:36 (seventeen years ago)
Sorry, the "You're So Vain" song is "Yeah You."

I really like this. I keep thinking that it's like the breezy summer pop album Sound of Silver could have been but wasn't (and I'm fine with that).

"Spaz" is a late entry to summer jam 2008. Go, Zune ad, go!
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 18 June 2008 19:45 (seventeen years ago)
some of it is like the black answer to limp bizkit and co. some of it is brilliant. but a lot of it needs better songs.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Wednesday, 18 June 2008 19:47 (seventeen years ago)
Overall I am really enjoying this. It's a lot of fun and very summery.

The nose song sounds like "Hot Music".
― The Reverend, Sunday, 13 July 2008 07:20 (seventeen years ago)
Is the beginning of this intentionally supposed to recall Busta's "Gimme Some Mo'"?
― The Reverend, Sunday, 13 July 2008 07:26 (seventeen years ago)
For the record: "Hypnotize U" is great.
