Ouch, that is a scathing review if I've ever read one. I personally find myself enjoying both of those musical personalities, but I agree that their best momemts were when they were writing gloomy songs. I forgot to list on my favorite songs for this album on my previous post, but "Down In A Hole" is definitely my favorite track from this album and I think that embodies a lot of their best qualities.
