I like it even though it's mainly a loop. I'm really glad they start and end the album with Roi.

There's a part of Roi's that dave and carter are discussing in one of the videos. Dave is humming along and waving his hand around. Is that part on the album somewhere? I haven't been able to identify it yet.

I can't believe how clueless this guy is. I think he's the same guy that Ryan Adams got into it with a few years ago.
Yep, he's an ass.
Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

I'd agree with that part of this album.

Clearly this guy has a lot of hate for the band in general. He's like a good number of people I met who have an issue with the band. Most of the time they dislike the band just because of how popular they've been over the years, with no real basis behind their contempt.

But, maybe he's one of the few that has a legitimate reason to hate the band too... and probably puppies too, the bastard.

I agree not all of Dave's songs are lyrical masterpieces, but his review didn't seem objective to me at all. There's a big difference between saying "I hate DMB, they suck" and "I don't like them, but they are talented". I thought it was very immature writing.

Not to derail this thread but here is the massage that Ryan Adams left for guy after he wrote a similar review of a Ryan Adams show...the guy then promptly posted the message online. I don't see Dave picking up the phone and calling the guy out :lol:

Shake Me Like a Monkey is one of my favorites. I don't see any discussion about it, and certainly very few props for it. Am I alone in really liking this song?

The chorus lyrics are weak, but it's solid
