i got it and was listening to it tonight at the gym. none of it rocked until the 21st track. they've really become just a talented pop band. i won't say that they don't have any nice-sounding melodic songs, but any of the heavy guitars or funky bass seem to be missing. they hyped this album so much that i thought it would smack of awesomeness on a first listen, but that just didn't happen. i love the video for dani california. too bad all the bands that seemed to influence them in that video aren't readily recognizable. maybe it will get better with subsequent listens. the second disk seems to be a lot better.
