I read what everybody said and would like to sound off myself. When I first listened to the album, I was a bit iffy as to how i felt....but then again, i was iffy when i first heard roy, pgtw, freeways, and all the others..... Now after quite a few listenings, I find quite a few songs great, volume crankers....and others I'm not too into. I'll tell you guys what it is. As I've said from the beginning, MWH SONGS ARE GREAT B/C THEY'RE 80'S SONGS THAT DON'T DEAL DIRECTLY WITH LOVE. There are just so many 80's songs that deal with love, that the theme's impact is just muted over time. I like when the lyrics make no sense....it allows me to make up a story about what I think it means....when it's so obvious....I don't get into them as much. The same sounding analog synth sound does not bother me at all.....I love that part....but I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE GUY WHO SAID IT'S QUITE FRUSTRATING THAT THERE IS NO IVAN SOLO WITH PIANO OR JUST A CHANGE OF PACE ON THE CD....... As far as the duration, well, I think POP was about just as long, if not shorter. -Collin
