The music was good on Permission to Land. I dunno about this new album at all! Justin Hawkins is really annoying too! He could be a good singer but he way over does it.

Grunge wasn't exactly the worst thing that happened to rock and roll in my opinion. I'm not really a Grunge fan but a few of the songs are decent. The worst thing that happened to rock n roll was sythesizers which replaced the original talented musicians with, as you said, talentless crap. I have to admit there are songs by good artists that have used sythesizers such as Dancing in the Dark by Bruce, Baba O'Reilly by the Who, etc, but I really think sythesizer's have been used to cover up the fact that many artists have no, or very little talent.
