Ixnay was different, but thats what made it good. if they had just made smash 2 it would have been really stupid. I think Ixnay has a really unique feel to it, which shows that the band was at least willing to try new things.

I listened to americana today, and I have to say I think 70% of it is good, and there are just a few songs that really kill it otherwise.

I actually dont have conspiracy of one, but I have downloaded a few of the "better" tracks from it and I like them. I'll have to give the whole album a listen before I judge it too much. I want to try not to just point at original prankster and scream "crappy album!"

Really, if they'd stop trying to make radio hits like pretty fly and original prankster, and just stick to making those great tracks that nobody has ever heard about, they'd be a very decent and unique band. :/
