Recorded in Los Angeles by the Kerner/Wise team, and apparently it did not go so well, for various reasons. The sound of this one is not as clean and polished as the debut, which many people prefer. I just take it for what it is, really. There are some great songs here, a few not up to snuff, and what might be suffering in comparison to the first album is that unified mindset, even though I feel like I am splitting hairs.
