I think its pretty well laid out. MUCH better than their last one, and IMO one of the better rock albums that's come out in the past few years. The new 3 door down album is also pretty sick.
I agree with you although I really liked Ten Thousand Fists too. The band was trying out different styles since some had complained that all their music sounds the same. Not true.. But wth was with the lyrics? The font was so crappy I could hardly read them.
