I don't disagree with the "rushed" aspect, and I'll add my usual "genre" criticism, but fair question: do we really think we'd like this better if there was different hype before? I mean, the record is what the record is, and I can't say it's reasonable to expect Mike and Derek to say "Hey guys, we put this little thing together in a week and it shows! The chroruses are a little same-y and the vocals - well, let's not talk about the vocals right now. But next time, we might nail it better. Or maybe not, but in any event, we're not going to do even one more tweet than necessary to just let you know the material is out there!" They're both aggressive, forward promoters for their music, and I'm not sure we should expect anything different (I'm only talking about the actual promotion; not reopening the can of worms on the other stuff.)
