I love 'em both, but FTL just feels tackier to me. Songs like "Children of the KoRn", and "Earache My Eye" certainly aren't bad...but they're more like beer chugging tunes.
Oh, and the lyrics to Justin are just painful (and not in the way Jonathan would probably like them to be).
"YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!! WANNA MEET ME WHY???"
I can't help but laugh every time. Which is bad considering the song's subject matter.
Still a great album overall. Issues just feels darker, and more mature/sincere to me.
Although "Pretty" may be the most disturbing song the band has ever written.
