Heard it, a lot. PM me for information =P
I think it's not bad but I think that Billy has kind of been lying. He had kind of been stating in his blog entries that this was going to be a RETURN TO THE RAWK album. And what does he bring? ANOTHER muted down Machina!
At first I was all EWW OH NOES IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BILLY IS A HAS-BEEN. But after quite a few more listens, it's really growing on me. I think it's more Machina than Adore, but it's kind of neither at the same time. It has a more 80's feel to it, Depeche Mode yes. I'm starting to really dig the sound, it gets so much better with each listen- but I still feel that it's less personal/moving compared to other stuff like Adore.
Stand out tracks: The Camera Eye, To Love Somebody, A100.
You can barely hear Robert Smith on To Love Somebody but he's in there really subtly- and totally just adds to the effect. This song has been given a new perspective and a new kind of depth. I dig!
