I just can't get into it and it's sad cause there is alot of potential (AND TALENT/ hype) but the songs just don't live up to it. Sad cause like I said they were really awesome live, hey maybe they should make a live record? If they released a record of live recording from what I heard, I think that would sound cool, they jam very well together but the album...I dunno, maybe I'll give it more time but for now I'll put it away for a bit.

I much prefer how the guitar fits in to the holistic structure to the song-guitar feeding off the bass line,etc. Adam Jones does it perfectly. Its not about shredding or technique for me.

All things considered, it all comes back to Morello. When I think hard about it, no one is doing, or sounds like, what Morello is doing. Like his scratching-influenced, wah-soaked whammy technique or not, dude has an original sound. That shit he pulls off is not easy. Overrated? Not so much. Underappreciated is more like it.
