Hurley has 8 strong songs
I can say in my opinion that Hurley has 8 good songs plus some of the deluxe edition songs add to that. I don't particularly like "Where's My Sex" and "Smart Girls" these lame cheesy songs should have been left off of the record. for the most part though, i do like the album, what do you guys think?

It's pretty catchy but I think the break down part at the end just does not do it for me, it does not fit the song in any sense.

Where's My Sex is pretty awesome. The guitar riff is bad ass, the chorus is catchy. The only thing I did not care for was the lyrics. However, I then found out the lyrics weren't about "Sex" rather they were about "socks".
[quote] Rivers also trades in his usual tongue-in-cheek humor for a more serious style this time around, although it’s not completely absent: “Where’s My Sex?” has him giving us a history lesson on cavemen first discovering socks. Yes, the song is actually about Socks and not Sex. Rivers said that his kid kept saying “Where is my sex?” instead of “socks” by accident. Finding it hilarious, he wrote an entire song about it. Replace “sex” with “socks”, and suddenly the song makes more sense. [/quote]
Putting that into perspective, I think it's rather clever and endearing. He wrote an entire song dedicated to what his Kid did, and it works. The innuendos, yet if you replace "Sex" with "Socks" the song makes sense. I know this still might be "cheesy" to some.
But it kind of put the song into better light for me. The ONLY track I do not like is "Smart Girls". It sounds way too out of place on the album. The drum machine, the electro beat. I dunno, that one is just too much.

You could maybe make the argument that Hurley has 8 strong melodies, but the songs are not especially strong by any stretch. "Trainwrecks" and "Unspoken" are as generic as they come. This is run-of-the-mill guitar pop with almost nothing interesting happening lyrically or harmonically. Rivers screaming on a couple tunes does not make an album good.

You're free to disagree...but it would be helpful if you explained why instead of just being insulting.
But yes, "rly". Listen to "Across the Sea" and "Unspoken" side by side. Regardless of which tune you like more, it's not arguable which song is a more accomplished piece of song-writing. "Across the Sea" is original, personable and meticulously crafted (count those key changes) with a great hook.
"Unspoken" is totally bland and lazy songwriting by comparison. There's nothing wrong with liking it, though. I just personally don't.
