Whenever I put this one on I'm actually surprised at how fast the cd just goes. It's like "whoa, I'm on Reunion already?!" and I basically don't even notice it. But I do get why some people don't like it. I too wish the songs sounded stronger and there was more of a guitar feel to them because (And I know I've mentioned this before) besides the guitar being more at the front of the mix that WAN, there is just WAY too much of those single string hitting throughout the chorus or verse that doesn't go anywhere, don't know why Shanks decided to go this way but it's really repetitive and gets a bit annoying at times....
