yeah, i know... i was very disappointed because every review i read beforehand called it a brilliant and striking 'comeback.' for some reason, though, i haven't been able to get into it, finding it generally over-produced. i do like the tune 'pavement cracks' a fair bit, though, and even heard it in the subway the other day... i'll take 'savage' any day, though, over this one. however, i'm thinking also that i ought to give it another chance. as for clem snide, he continues to amze me, even though i've read some scathingly bad review of the new one... oh, well...
