Can you say, Cliche'?

I just find the lyrics incredibly pretentious and ... well, corney. I don't
know how else to say it. It does have a few good riffs in it but thats not
enough to save it in my eyes (ears).

I don't. The only ones I would even bother listening to are "Perfect Water"
(which has grown on me a bit since hearing it on WOTT) and "Dancin'.."

Keep in mind that I am old, opinionated, jaded and incredibly picky on
things like this... :) I constantly piss off all my friends for 'panning'
their favorite music and hating almost everything thats currently popular.
