This sounds like Brian just discovered MIDI, made some songs in 20 minutes each, and sent them off. It's uninspired, flavorless, boring, and monotonous. And yet, I keep listening to it. Something about it how bad it is is fascinating to me. It's really bad, by the way.
The album cover gives off a vibe I can't quite describe. Putrid?
None of the songs are bad, but none of them are particularly interesting either, other than Elements and perhaps Gonna Lose and Understood. It feels like all the songs are in the same key, and it makes it feel pretty repetitive. Plus the recording/production is a little questionable. The mixing is incredibly muddy, the drums sound lifeless, Doug's voice is buried in the background under layers of echo, and it just doesn't sound punchy. Disappointing for me, unfortunately.
