Lyrics vs. Music

Review Score: (8/10)
It's very simple to see how people are gonna rate this album based on their political and moral beliefs:

Those who are pro-war or who believe that rich people deserve every bit of what they get without having to give any to those who actually need the money: "This album sucks"

Those who are against war and believe that it is our duty as humans to help others stay healthy and safe: "Gee this album is awesome"

Get my point? The album is based more on lyrics than music. I gave it 4 stars because the music is not nearly as deap as most of the other stuff I've heard from any band with Maynard in it.
