Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Somehow, producer Alex da Kid thought that intentionally introducing that awful, cheap sounding distortion (several tracks, most notably beginning on 'Radioactive'), was somehow "artistic". What a stupid idea. One word Alex...WRONG. It's not Eno-esque, not even close. It's asinine and sophomoric. You aimed badly and missed. It's like Alex thought that he could pull off a musical equivalent of that classic photographic technique whereby emphasizing the "grainy" look of B&W Film can have a pleasing effect in portrait work. HEY ALEX...IT DOESN'T WORK WITH MUSIC. For the first time I can recall, I am returning a recorded work to the retailer because it is "defective in workmanship". What makes me scratch my head is that the band didn't veto this idiotic idea. Oh well, they're young. Hopefully the band still have masters that haven't had the distortion added yet. In a few years, maybe they'll release a "we booted Alex da Kid" remix. I will buy it immediately.
