Compared to their previous albums, Yes. I stopped buying their albums after this. They still are one of my all time favorite psychedelic artists because of all their previous albums.They choose to walk a different path, that's their prerogative as artists.
Only saving grace is this album has a remix of "Bust a Move" - one of my fav IM tracks.
Honestly, I prefer the original mix of Bust a Move.
Vicious Delicious is by far their best work, but I still don't see what's wrong with LotBS, I mean there are a few exceptionally poor songs on it but Franks is definitely not one of them, nor is Poquito Mas or Sa'eed.
