Comments: I was recommended this CD by a friend (who admittedly is obsessed by this band, so it was a bit biased), and I now have to question her taste in music. I won't say I didn't enjoy it, because I did . . . sort of. This CD definitely has a range in quality of songs. Some of them are really not even worth mentioning, and then there are some which surprised me in how good they were.

While not a bad CD, they've got a lot of work to do. I mean the only real songs worth singing along to would be "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)," "Ghost of You," and "Cemetery Drive." Okay songs include "Helena" and "To the End." All the others blend into something unintelligible and frankly not really worth remembering the title for.
