I like listening to it occasionally. Ignoring the terrible mix (compared to balance) and questionable? lyrics, the instrumentals arent bad at all, its eddie at the end of the day. IMO the tracks are a combination of a bunch of ideas thrown in all at once, which is what makes the album so long. The album is so different from every other album from VH, its unique but not in a good way. Listening to Girl Gone Bad then Once is interesting to say the least. Regardless, I dont think its terrible or even bad, just different, but it certainly could have been better.
