Total Disappointment

Review Score: (2/10)
As shocking as the realization that MJK has now jumped into bed with the Hollywood elite on political issues, it is even more shocking that, despite the politically charged lyrics, the music sucks. And sucks bad. The sound is a mish-mash of covers and sub-par b-sides. MJK's voice tries to exude emotion, but comes off sounding forced, and in some cases, totally flat. Let's just all agree to sweep this one under the rug and forget that it ever happened. Here's to hoping that this was just an aberration from a band and vocalist that consistently puts out some of the best material in rock. Considering the outcome of the election, it seems APC gambled...and lost. The album seems totally irrelevant because of that. And the rumors that APC will tour with Streisand in support of the album...those are still just rumors.
