I could say the same thing for almost every track on that album. That's why I only like Anaise! and maybe Drum + Fife.
Spilled Milk and As Rome Burns are way better than this.

Sure, it's no Zero or Bullet With Butterfly Wings but it's one of the best alt-rock showings he's released since 2000. As far as production goes, it's actually in some ways better than the muddied showings on Machina. Really, it just goes to show how far some decent production goes in elevating Billy's songs... And in that regard, One and All has been something of an enigma (at least as far as the material in the 00's goes)... Especially considering how the vocals are so front and center again on the new album.
