I really didn't like PL at all. Russell can be awesome when he sings with a clear voice, and uses the harsh voice as an extra punch now and then.. but this was just too much!
Adding to that, it's that ugly Line 6 guitar tone in front of the mix ALL THE TIME. Please MJR, modelling is FINE (I do it myself), but at least tweak carefully and channel it through a tube amp or whatever, afterwards.
The keys were mixed in a weird way, and the worst thing of all: the mastering job. That's exactly the reason why some of you can't sit the album out in one sitting. It gets tedious on the ears.
