At times still repetitive, but definitely fresher. There was a bidding war going on for them and I guess Interscope/Atlantic won and to an extent the band does deliver on the hype. The songs are better developed and Page's vocals are more polished (he still yells, but now with a certain distinguished anger). He also sings about Downtown Julie Brown.
