Review Score: (4/10)
this one is a so-so album. its got its share of great songs and really bad numbers as well. the first part of the album is really good and reaches it peak with victoria's secret but then the quality just drops down and never gets any better... the last 2 songs are plain awful. this is a few steps down for this band, ecliptica and even silence are much better than this one
