I'm removing it. Please don't put it back up. This is Wikipedia, not your personal review page. If you'd like to start a reception section and specify what certain reviewers wrote, you can do that, but the way it is now, you have opinions written as though they were fact. I'll put the material here if someone would like to organize it into a reception section.

Songs

. So Vain - This song has a really interesting, ambient kind of groove to it. The beginning guitar sounds seem to be reminiscent of the song ‘Lord Lord’ from thenewno2’s Promotional EP001, but then it soon becomes something totally different. It has a vibe-y atmospheric sound that is developing into a signature sound of thenewno2, and at the same time it is rocking and almost psychedelic in places. The electronic sounds in the background play off the lyrics in a cool way. The music seems to almost illustrate what the lyrics are saying.

Another John Doe Single

Another John Doe - This was the first single, and it is probably the most recognized album track among fans of thenewno2. Taking a well-known phrase like "Another John Doe" and turning it into a song could be a difficult thing to do, but thenewno2 have done it wonderfully, having no trouble avoiding cliches that may be tempting to use in conjunction with the title. Instead, the lyrics are written beautifully. It’s hypnotic tone draws the listener in right away. The music is mesmerizing, with a highlight at Dhani’s slide guitar solo in the middle of the song.

Back To You - Back To You begins with sound clips of news footage that then gets twisted and muffled into a pulsating drum beat. The lyrics are extremely thought provoking, with multiple themes and layers of meaning. Lyrically the song takes the listener by surprise a few times - going to unexpected places that really work well.

Bluesy - Bluesy starts out with some very interesting harmonies that sound almost like chanting over a vacant landscape. It then picks up with a cool electronic sounding drum beat, while the harmonies continue after each phrase. The song feels like it can put you into a trance.

Give You Love - The intro to this song is played with synths and complements Dhani's voice the entire song. The drum beat, especially after the first verse really picks up into a quick groove, which is why it comes as no surprise that Oli mentioned in a recent interview that this is one of his favorite songs to play live. There are some really interesting things that happen in the middle of this song that give it such a unique feel. .

Yomp - This is the first of the new songs that fans were able to hear; it has been made available for listening on the band’s myspace and it is also be available to download on Rock Band for XBox 360 and PS3. Oli’s crashing drums and Dhani’s lead guitar are real highlights, as well as Dhani’s strong vocals. Yomp is truly inspirational and uplifting while also being extremely energetic and fun to listen to.

Hiding Out - Starting in the second verse, the backing vocals and harmonies make it even more beautiful to hear. The song seems to pick up on the theme of "Another John Doe" with the struggle between anonymity and being “done hiding out,” But it also feels as if there is another layer to it also.

Crazy Tuesday - A ukulele starts off this track, which will give a tug on anyone’s heart if he or she is a fan of Dhani’s father George. The song touches on the difficulty of long distance relationships. This song was available to download for Rock Band 2 as one of the 20 free songs. The idea from the title came from thenewno2's shows being on a Tuesday.

Idle Lover - In this song Dhani's voice is soft and ambient and is backed with a steady drum beat and followed by a very gripping guitar solo.

Shelter - A folksy guitar sound begins this track, which turns into a dreamy, peaceful-sounding tune. The song itself feels like an auditory shelter from the rest of the world. The lyrics brings about vivid imagery dealing with nature - the moon, the trees, strong storms, rising seas, hurricanes. The ukulele touch at the end of the song is perfect, as it fades into the next song with an almost classical sound. This song was also played on the Rolling Stone Magazine

Wind Up Dead - The string sounds from Shelter fade into this song. The keyboards in the background later come into the foreground and turns the song around into a more upbeat song. Bryony Atkinson’s sings backing vocals, and the contrast between her voice and Dhani’s give the song a great new dimension.

Jokes On You Gotta Wait?

Hello. The article mentions the tracks "jokes on you" and "you gotta wait" being songs that you can only get when you digitally download the album from iTunes; however, my physical copy of the CD has them on it. Am I misunderstanding the article? --76.104.197.14 (talk) 17:36, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
