No, that's why I'm asking before I buy it. I read bad reviews of it and want to know what people think of it.

I heard one of the new songs on KEXP and thought it was pretty ordinary.

I bought it and have listened to it a few times. It's kind of like candy corn. Tastes great at first but gets a little sickening after awhile. I've been surprised by how much hate has been spewed by reviewers on it, since it's not *that* bad. I like the song Empire, and there's a couple others on there that sound good.
 It won't change my life (unlike Comets of Fire, who RULE COCK) but its fun to put on every now and then. I liked the first one better.

how many review have you read?  maybe you should just listen to it!

It's not so great...certainly doesn't measure up the first.  Really disappointing.  
 
 They were godawful on Letterman the other night.  Will still check them out tomorrow since I've never seen them, but I'm skeptical now.

i really like the band, loved the first record, and couldn't make it through the first three songs of the new album before turning it off.  take that for what its worth.

I thought they were awful as well. And then Fergie came on last night....

I didnt care for Empire upon the first listening. Ive listened to it a few times since then and I'm starting to like it more than the first album. They put on a great live show. Tom is an incredible front-man. Started the set with Shoot the runner (newest single) and ended with Clubfoot that turned Webster Hall into a frenzy. They played for about an hour straight (no encore). Tom engaged the crowd, from singing to clapping to dancing, he's non-stop energy, danced the entire night on-stage. Serge was incredible as always. I'd definitely recommend checking them out at v-fest (if youre going).
 
 It started with Mew and onethousand pictures, so couldnt have asked for abetter night.

we havent gotten so bad that we judge a band by how they perform on letterman??
 
   oh no.

Nah, I go by metacritic. Where it appears the latest Drive By Truckers is beating the latest Kasbian, 76-62. Then again, almost everyone is beating the new Kasbian.
