Wow... they sure embraced their inner Nickeleon on this album. "Sex On Fire" is one of the dumbest songs ever written, with a pointless video to match, and their utterly predictable formula for the record shows itself in spades with "Use Somebody" and "Be Somebody." It's Nickelback for hipsters. Sure, their sound has changed over time, but they aren't getting any better, just different. That means they don't have a sound of their own. They're a patchwork of dick and whore anecdotes and stage posturing. At least Mötley Crüe and KISS were honest about their intentions instead of pretending to be actual viable artist. Don't kid yourself into thinking this music will last. It's bubblegum, not the Beatles. More songs about sex and themselves, and a whole lot of squonking... f*cking douchebags. I mean, seriously, "your sex is on fire?" It's like The Darkness moved to Tennessee.[/rant]

Filmore... you really like to rant don't you? You need to mellow down. They are what they are... they don't act like they're the greatest band in the world and don't pretend to be breaking new ground.
Plus, what's wrong with making songs about sex, drugs and rock n roll?
