I agree, not there best but it stll was pretty good. Although I enjoyed there first two albums a bit more, I still found Hot Mess very catchy and entertaining.
I think it was a great album! Although, the girls were kinda bad, but I still really liked it! I didn't really mind them though in Nice Guys Finish Last. It was actually kinda funny. x] :] But overall, I loved the album. :]
I was disapointed with the album when I first listened to it. THe songs have grown on me since then, but I agree with you on the girl vocals. They drag the songs down.
Their first album was their best, in my opinion.
