Under your skin sold about 6,300 copies, Cinco diablo about 12/13 k (I remember) but this flop was expected :(

Man, I hate April Fools day. As far as "pranks" go, this is not that terrible though.

I'm convinced that there's a murderer in the pop forum, so I'm going with Mr. Green.

They really need to get off Island. They really need to be writing better songs than "Ladies & Gentlemen" off the album before and "Family Reunion" as the lead single off that album if they want people to continue paying money for their music. |

Ladies And Gentlemen did really well for them though. Anyway, who do you think is more to blame for their musical direction? Them or their label? I guarantee if they got off Island, we'd see an improvement. |

Given you're likely suggesting a new destination of Eleven Seven, home of Buckcherry, Motley Crüe, and Drowning Pool (whose new direction is kinda cock rock-influenced if you ask me), I wouldn't be so confident.

Drowning Pool's last two albums have been great. And barring a few songs here and there, I actually like Buckcherry. Papa Roach has slightly improved since they joined Eleven Seven. Plus the label has Sixx AM and Trapt, both of which are awesome. I see no problems. |

I'm not suggesting that they would change direction. I'm suggesting they wouldn't have to water themselves down so much.

I pick Never Should've Let You Go as single #3 You think they should release another ballad after "Nothing" flopped? "Better Days" is the better ballad, whilst "Hate Me" would be the ideal option for a mid-tempo number. If they want to continue in the "Badass" direction, then "Burn It Up" or "Spotlight" should be released. |

The album was fine for a Saliva record. Radio is just bored of them.

I think it's a pretty similar record to "Cinco Diablo." The only thing missing is the southern sound they had a few albums back. What ever happened to that? ??? |

This is cheeseball, uninspired, derivative, and ballad heavy. If they don't rip off Click Click Boom on the rock tracks then they're hamming the worst ballads known to man. They shat this album out. |

I thought "Family Reunion" was a rehashed version of "Click Click Boom" and/or "Ladies and Gentleman." "Cinco Diablo" had its fair share of rap-rockers and snoozy ballads, too, though. Neither album is outstanding, so I would kinda agree that they need to make a better album, but I think they've passed their peak. |

Again, Cinco Diablo was a far stronger album than this and I will defend that till my death. The only real castoff from that album is "Southern Girls", which blew. Fortunately it was followed on the album by "So Long", which was a great song.

I don't know which one of their crappier albums I like better, but besides "Back Into Your System," they all haven't done much for me at all. I'll still check out and end up keeping every release they ever put out though.
