Fly Or Die [Enhanced, Import, Explicit Lyrics]

That said, Fly or Die is still quite good though it's pretty patchy. Highlights are the celestial Wonderful Place and the amped up The Way She Dances. Low points are Jump (which features Joel and Benji Madden from Good Charlotte), a horrid mish mash of random beats and notes that sounds like Chad or Pharrell sat on the keyboard and pressed record. In fact there's quite a lot of atonality on this album, bum notes drop here, there and everywhere, I'm guessing in an effort to make it more musically interesting but mostly it ends up leaving one feel short changed, just as the chorus should triumphantly kick in on a tune like Thrasher for example, it just peters out and is robbed of it's impact somewhat.

So, Fly or Die? Neither really. Considering that In Search Of... was such a grower, this album may be too and perhaps I'll be revising my rating upwards. Right now though it sounds fairly average. The 'tunes are human after all.

1-"dont worry about it"-a song about a man and girl and they have such a sexual tension for each other but dont want to rush things/its a great fusion of rock and a great breakdown at the end.
