Bland retread of styles that have been done to death by better bands. 10 points for the fun I had playing "oh now they're doing Arctic Monkeys - now they're doing Hives - now they're doing Arctic Monkeys again." Has no business existing.
Lightning in a bottle. A special record. If you have ever enjoyed punk rock, you must check it out. Fantastic songs performed like it's the band's last day on Earth. Has a kind of manic energy reminiscent of early Clash, but with a style all their own.
How many times do you people need Lou to do ~experimental~? Avant-garde is great, but the man's gotta eat too. So stop your whining, kick back and relax, and enjoy some classic pop-rock heaters from a master songwriter with his new buddies.
