 Dark, Depressing, and Boring Jan 18, 2006
They should have called this "Music to Kill Yourself To". The music is unrelentingly dark and doom-laden. The wicked will prevail, the good will fall, forever and ever, Amen. What an album to record in a church!
Individually, there are one or two worthwhile songs. I actually like the (sort of) title track, "The Unforgiven Ones", but the album has very little else going for it. Even if you like dark melancholic music, the songs quickly start to sound so alike that you often don't even notice that one ended and the next one started. This is a _bad_ thing.
where are the Crash Test Dummies that produced "God Shuffled His Feet" and "The Ghosts That Haunt Me"? I want them back!!!

 Go Brad! Jan 17, 2006
The best CTD album of them all. If you liked "I don't care if you don't mind," than you should love this. It really grows on you. It never gets old. It's dark, slow, and moving.

 What happened to such a great band? Sep 24, 2005
This new release is pretty bad for sure, Brad's got to go back to the days of 'Worm' 'God Shuffled His Feet' and 'The Ghosts That Haunt Me'. I know some of the fans say they are being diverse, but you got to admit, this stuff is pretty terrible, not even close to the genius music the CTD are capable of producing.

Gothic church music Sep 18, 2005
I love the CTD. WHen I realized they had a new album, I went to the local record store and paid full price and could't wait to listen to it. I was horrified at the fact that Brad lost his wit and sense of melody. I thought I was in church attending a funeral. I played it once. Some music deserves a second listen. I could not get through the first. It will be buried in my collection and most likely sold at a garage sale for fifty cents.

The Crash Test Dummies quickly became my favorite band after listening to 'The ghosts that haunt me' and 'God shuffled his feet' albums. When I heard about this new album coming out, I was hoping for another hit. But instead I was quite disappointed. This new album is quite dark, depressing, and just plain boring. Brad has such an amazing voice and I'm not sure what happened, but I hope they Crash Test Dummies return to their original roots.
