good start, strong ending. soggy middle though, bit same-y, mopey and has a bit suburban-kid-who-just learned-that-bad-things-exist-doing-grunge smell (especially on that Susan song). I like 90s rock though so the self-similarity doesn't bother me that much. the Shrek song was unexpected but great and might've given it the few emotional attachment points to bump this up to a 4.

sonically diverse & nevertheless coherent. nice blend of horns, synthesisers and funky guitars/basslines. everything falls into place perfectly, even songs that are bad as standalone singles, e.g. The Girl Is Mine. definitely one of the greatest pop records of all time.

don't like him or his voice, he seems like a trashy asshole. musics fine though. I like the country-flavored songs the best.

TOO LONG! I enjoy some of the songs but it's 90 minutes long and way too much of it is just them doing a Beatles/Elvis/country impression. Also why are there remixes before the final original song? Clear highlight: A Little Bit of me, a little bit of you. Just flashy and pop enough for me.

Eins der wenigen Alben die mein Interesse bis ganz zum Ende hielt! Die ersten 6,7 Songs sind alle großartig auf ihre eigene Art, alle kohäsiv aber einzigartig, nur am Ende schwächelt es ein ganz bisschen. Wie gesagt, ich mag 90s Rock und als erstes wirklich großes Grunge-Album fühlt sich der kalte, rohe Sound noch frisch an
