2. Hey, Googly Eyes McGee: no one thinks it's cute. You're not weeeeird and going out of your miiiiiiind on stage — you're performing in a television studio in front of an audience of nondescript adults who, if they're under 25, likely only know one, maybe two of your singles from hearing it at frat parties and blaring over the speakers at Forever 21. You should just keep your eyes in your sockets and just play the song.

(Side note — Do Date or Dump: eyeballs guy, weird facial hair drummer, plainfaced bassist. Go.)

3. The funny thing is, if this album was released by a totally different band called, like, GTMT, it would have gotten a ton of blog coverage, been linked to on Twitter all day long and everyone who says they hate it would be scooping up tickets to see them open for Fang Island on their hypothetical summer tour. I know, because I'd probably be one of them. They did a good job the first time around, which makes it impossible to listen to without going "meh". Well, win some, lose some.
