Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: maybe my bs detector is on too high...

Too many positive reviews here make their point by saying "Well, at least it ain't no teeny pop or rap metal". That doesn't mean it's any good. The fact is, this is as a half-baked work with more in common with teen pop than "straight ahead rock". I hear the "sincerity",but i absolutley don't buy it. Same... you could get from ThirdMatchboxEve6Blind or whatever, just not as well-played or nearly as interesting. This shlock tries way too hard to be liked and ends up sounding third-rate, rather than something all it's own. Same old chords, same insipid lyrics, hooks all over the place saying "like me! like me!". It's background music for people who don't want to listen too closely. Not nearly as clever as they would like you to believe. This record will sound ridiculous in two years. Not even Vanilla.
