Reviews say it is inconsistent, but the first and last tracks are very strong. The songs sounds bigger and more epic than previous albums, which could be because they used a new producer who worked with Tool and Muse before.

I am thrilled that the reviews for The Hangover are good since I thought it looked hilarious the first time I saw the trailer. I thought Land of the Lost looked pretty cute, so it is too bad the reviews are not as good for it.

They could have easily overacted, but they didn’t.
