I tried really hard, but I can't get into Battle Studies at all. I adored Continuum and wanted to like this album, but it just isn't working for me. It's as if the parts I disliked about Continuum (the popish bits devoid of blues) have just been expanded to the length of an entire album. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good pop song, but these don't do much for me.
