Giving up so soon?4
I was surprised to see that this album had already received 2 reviews a day after it was released. This leads me to believe that the people who wrote them are most likely pretty big/loyal fans of Brandtson. Now, with that being said, I wonder how anyone, especially a loyal fan, can write an honest review after listening to this album, or any other album from a band they love, for only one day. For myself and many other people I know, it sometimes takes a good solid week, maybe even two, of listening to an album before one can really decide how they feel about it. My advice to you is not to give up on this album so soon; at least listen to it (don't just hear it, but listen to it) once, maybe 2 times through for a week and I'm pretty sure that as you do, you will find as I did that yeah, it's not the exactly the sound that we grew up with, but a new sound; a sound that the band has grown up to make; a sound that is fun, a sound that you can dance to, and (most importantly) a sound that won't let you forget that you're listening to Brandtson.

A Change for the worse2
Wow, to understand where Brandtson is going, review Silverchair's career. I bought this yesterday, put it in the CD player with some other Brandtson fans around, and as the CD played we all looked at each other and scratched out heads. I said, "Maybe it will grow on us." But, no. I've listened to "Hello Control" five times now, and while it's catchy, it's also annoying and corny with no edge whatsoever. Pass on this one.

Leaps for the electro-rock bandwagon1
and falls drastically short. Responsible for some of the coolest songs ever written (see Escapist, Mercy Medical, etc.) Brandtson underwent some sort of lineup change and got a new bassist who liked playing with computers. What resulted is this. The "electro" seems gimmicky and forced while the rock is turned wayyy down to make room. Lyrics are annoying at times and listening to this CD inspires me only to turn it off. For fans of Brandtson, give their purevolume a good listen before you buy anything. For everyone else? Do not buy.
