Alright, so I know most people probably haven't even heard it yet as it comes out tomorrow (or rather, it's out already for about 90% of the people on this site, if you use iTunes) but I use torrents and they've had the album for five days now, so you know... I grabbed it (I'm going to buy it, chill).
I know I'm not your "conventional" MM fan because, well, I started really listening to them at High End of Low. I happen to appreciate the old as well as the new because while they aren't as good as they were, they still aren't complete shit. Regardless of what sound you like, if you really look at the lyrics, they're just as poetic as they've ever been (and in some cases, even more so, like on Eat Me, Drink Me). When he starts writing lyrics that belong in a Ke$ha song, then I will let them go. :P
I happen to REALLY enjoy this album. First listen, I kept thinking "Regardless, this was a great move for the position he's in in his career." I think it's an excellent way of recapturing the interest of some of the fans who lost faith. Even the less memorable songs I thought were much easier to swallow than some of the lowest points of HEoL.
It managed to bring back some bits of their older sounds while also creating yet another different one that we hadn't heard before. I think it could have been a lot better (they did Holy Wood you know, it's the same band... sort of o.o) but I was secretly thinking it was going to be a lot worse.
And overall I'm just glad my position has been reinforced, that he still has a lot more in him. I never doubted, but you start to wonder, sometimes, if you're supporting the right argument.
