Yup, again some great ideas but an overall slightly flavourless album. This one feels a bit stronger than Star with a fair few more well constructed ideas I have to say. 1 is quite nice particularly the intro, 2 and 4 are kinda cool 90s song that feel like they could have been hit songs had they been a bit more memorable, but 3 is vapid and feels like a generic band with a singer having a fair bit more fun than the other members. 5 is typical Belly: after a boring intro, they have a really cool intro with a dope distorted tone, then proceed to make a boring song out of it. 6's boring but 7 starts on a cool riff too and uses it better. 8 starts well but overextends a fair bit, 9's kinda fun I guess with the intro and some random halloween vibes here and there, 10's actually one of the (few) solid songs, and 11's just ok. I'm just not ever quite convinced with these guys, but it's never bad and they do have more ideas than many a band. 3.1
