Personally, I prefer this album.
The last album was a big production and played up a lot, I think this one was very nonchalant.
It isnt as teenybopper as former albums, just a little more grown up but it still has the catchy lyrics that we all love in Poison Ivy, Paranoid, and What Did I Do To Your Heart.
If you really listen, with an unbiased opinion it is awfully good.
So...
Joseph never directly bashed Tay in any other way.
Let him have this.
Taylor bashed him in quite a few interviews, videos, etc.
Joe posted one blog, which was taken down.
again, let him have this.
