I like the new album.  The first couple times through I couldn't decide
whether it sucked very badly.  It would be easy to throw rotten tomatoes,
and one could mistake a "return to form" as a good album on its own
merits.  But I found myself drawn into it well enough, unlike _Load_ and
the even-worse _Reload_ (and _S&M_ and _Garage Inc._ which seem too
pointless to consider at all).

That was a really sloppy rendition.
