I am disappointed in the previews. It sounds way too forced.

You can listen to a good 1:30 of all the Some Nights songs on iTunes now. And...they all blow. The songs aren't bad live, so it's primarily due to the choice of producer. Overproduced pop shit; sounds desperate for mainstream attention. Different from an album like Interventions + Lullabies, which could have gone mainstream under the right label, but didn't sound like it was begging for all the derps to listen like this album does. What a shame.
