I love it so far. The only track I'm not into is Lights out. The rest is great. But I thought the middle part of "Rapture" could have gone on longer. It could have been this long crescendo leading to a noise section and then back to the song. Those are the only 2 tthings that I found wrong with it, in my opinion. And Pink Steam is such a great song.
As far as the pop thing goes, it didn't sound so pop-oriented to me. Kim's songs are the only ones that sound poppy but Lee's and Thurston's don't. Kim's vocals sound great though and her songs are the strongest. I just love her vocals on this album. I don't get why so many people dislike this album, it's really good. The negative posts by the same people are getting really annoying but I guess it's all opinion.
All in all, I'm liking this album. Pink Steam, Sleepin' Around, Rats, Jams Run Free, and The Neutral are my favorites. There are a lot of new favorite Kim songs for me on this album. This is one of her best albums.
