Agreed -- the guitars seem low on the record, and every snare hit sounds the same. ("In Love And Death")

BUT I like the record, and it clearly inspires a lot of people (I've had clients use it as a starting point to represent where they visualize their sound(s) going). I think a lot of gearslutz will hear the record and not get past track #2 because the Pro-Tooling will turn them off. They're missing out. The songs and vocal performances are really, really cool.
