    You're right that some of the last few tracks are weaker ("Face To Face" is
    bad ass though).
    I don't know who the hell Romanthony is, so I didn't listen to the album
    with any baggage.
    All the vocals are either vocodered or Auto-Tuned anyway.

    Then again, it's not nearly as played-out as '70s cheese (which by now is a
    stale cliche) - Yet.
