That is a big part of the problem, they took too long to follow up X, which wasn't very satisfying. I liked Yeah! a fair amount and still play it...I was really looking forward to the follow-up. Sparkle Lounge just doesn't deliver as an album to make up for X. I definately don't put it in the category of Adrenalize or X, though. The songs sound cliched because of the glam ode, but they are honest enough for the most part with one exception, Gotta Let It Go. I could actually like that song had they reworked it and removed the unneccessary Have A Nice Day elements.
