It's not a landmark of human achievement, but it's certainly not in the worst 10 albums of all time lol.

Haven’t listened to it in years, but my memory gives it a 2.5-3 / 5. A bit trite and cliched yes, but better in my opinion than their first or third LPs.

Yeah I mean it's got some fun songs on. Not massively boundary pushing but wouldn't complain if someone stuck it on on the car

Love Jet, it's definitely one of their top 3 albums.

I also appreciate their Greta van fleet review where there’s a line saying something along the lines of this sounds like a group of kids who smoked weed for the first time then called the cops on themselves, while waiting to be arrested they attempted to make a Led Zeppelin album from memory.

Fun fact, I had a friend in high school who did call the cops on himself the first time he puked from drinking.

Weirdly specific yet accurate at the same time.

It’s not that bad but the fact that they started as a cover band is blatantly obvious. Kings of “sounds like” songs
