it wasn't the lyrics that bugged me.  When they are well crafted and sung
well I can appreciate them.  What bugged me was that the album sounded
like techno by the numbers.  No emotion.  Perhaps it is there and I just
don't see it.  Their remixes however do have it.  When you hear what they
have done it makes not for threes pale in comparison.
