I don't know what it is... I like "Dead or Dreaming". In small doses. I can't listen to more than 3 songs in a row.
BTW, none of the songs I downloaded were from the new one. After my good initial impressions of DoD and the lavish praise for the latest album, I was pumped about it to no degree. But when I bought it and gave it a few spins... it simply annoyed me. Major disappointment.
