I still don't see what everyone sees in Kill the DJ. I didn't care for that one much.

I rated the album a few days ago. Rusty James was my favorite.

The album is a solid 6.5/10.

I really like the album, with the exception of "Fell For You" and "Sweet 16", and I didn't really care for "Troublemaker" all that much either. But my biggest problem with the album, is that a lot of it is rehashing some of their other songs. Some are blatantly obvious, as well.

"Troublemaker" sounds like a reworked "Horseshoes and Handgrenades"
"Rusty James" sounds a lot like "Scattered" (The solo basically mimics the vocal line from that song)
"Carpe Diem" is really combination of the riffs from "Before the Lobotomy" and "Desensitized"
"Angel Blue" has little guitar parts that sound like "I Fought The Law" (yes, I know that it's not Green Day) and the solo is reminiscent of that of "Know Your Enemy"

But I do like the more power-pop sound they were going for with this album, rather than trying to "recreate Dookie" like some people think is a great idea. It has it's flaws, but in the end it's a solid album.

Just listened to ¡Uno!

The album is... very very underwhelming. Especially since I like the direction they took with American Idiot and thought it was a positive turn from the band's punkier roots. Unfortunately, ¡Uno! has neither the consistent lyrical power of American Idiot or 21st Century Breakdown or the clever instrumentation of Dookie or Nimrod. Half the album feels way too repetitive and at times just extraordinarily unpleasant. However, I've always thought Green Day's style was interesting, so even the repetitive mush isn't that boring. It's just a shame that they took a step backwards from what made me really love them.

My rankings:

Kill The DJ
Let Yourself Go
Fell For You
Nuclear Family
Loss of Control
Stay The Night
Rusty James
Sweet 16
Carpe Diem
Angel Blue
Oh Love
Troublemaker

Overall: 5/10

[Runesmith]

"Nuclear Family" was the only real memorable track on Uno for me. The songwriting's just not there on this one.

Also, the lyrics on "Kill The DJ" are beyond dumb, and not in the cool hair metal way.

After losing the writeup I had about it, the short version:

Devin Townsend Project - Epicloud
6.5/10

A bit underwhelming of an album, honestly, especially after the four album main project.

[Cubecubed]

Yeah I don't care for Kill the Dj at all. Nuclear Family is probably my favorite at this point. I'd give the album a solid 7 at this point.

[Mega-Tallica]

Three Days Grace - Transit Of Venus 6.75/10

Aside from the songs being too short (making the album pretty short, barely over 40 minutes long), it wasn't all that bad. Solid mixture of a little everything this band has done up to this point with some subtle delving into a different sound with added electronics and *gags* dubstep. Luckily, the first single, "Chalk Outline", is the only song with any major dubstep influence, mostly the more pronounced electronics and synthesizers are what are different about this album. Not the biggest fan of this band, but this is a decent listen. Fairly 'safe' release by these guys. Not bad overall.

Listened to Nimrod again in its entirety.
Although I consider it the weakest of the Green Day albums that I love, I feel that Nimrod still has a very powerful punch when it comes to instrumentation and cleverness. Their style works well, and although the album has a lot of filler in it, the songs that stick out are really really really enjoyable. I didn't hate any one song and I enjoyed quite a few, so I'm pleased as punch.
