Query: the worst charlatans cd--EVER!!

hi there, i've been a big charlatans uk fan ever since "some friendly" was released. they've changed their sound/style before--but the changes used to be for the better only. i was dying for this cd to come out, and i couldn't have been more disappointed. that's all i can say. "us and us only's" promises go unfulfilled painfully! it seemed as if the charlatans were maturing and turning into something really special. this cd is on the same level as half-baked radio-pap bands like matchbox twenty. this is a complete waste of money...now i'm out $... avoid, avoid, AVOID!!!
