Dude, did you read my post?

Overall, it's not bad. The music and singing are good (natch!). But here are my issues with it:

--I don't know the originals...any of 'em. It's good in a way, but bad...b/c I don't have that "measuring stick."

--Too much synth...I would have liked to hear some rock-oriented stuff (a la "I Feel You" or "Useless").

--The whole premise of this being a covers CD. I would have liked to see Martin challenge himself more, i.e. how he would handle songs that he has written just for him, not for Dave or him to sing as members of DM.

I don't feel that I wasted my money though, nor do I consider it just filler. It's a good CD...better than the last Recoil release.
