First of all they did not name the title of this disc.

Don’t criticize someone else’s art if you cannot write the lyrics, compose the sheet of music, and produce the fucking record yourselves.

And all that shit about this is a free country is just a defense mechanism to help you shield yourself from getting your feelings hurt. BooHoo!

That song says to me, "Hey, no one else playing music now knows how to play their instruments/sing on key/write interesting arrangements, so why should we? Also, we have a good-looking lead singer." What can you expect from a band who names their second album "The Science of Things"? Whenever I hear this song it makes me want to "Swallow" Dran-O.</p> I have to say “Swallowed,” because it’s obvious by listening to it that the band didn’t put any thought or work into it.

I just think it’s a given that your parents will screw you up. Sometimes it’s worse than others – but that’s why you get to grow up and screw your kids up.

It pains me that “One Thing” is what introduced people to Finger Eleven as they were once (and maybe still are) a very interesting rock band.

Also, since when is “Plush” a ballad?
