The hate for Unemployable I think comes down to one thing only: Eddie’s Shania calls in the chorus. But really, if those don’t kill it for you (and they don’t for me though I think it is the worst part of the song), the rest is really good. The music seems pretty original and engaging, the characters Springsteen-esque and the flow is pretty good.

I don't like how Eddie sounds throughout the whole song - there is a 'shine', for lack of a better term on his vocals (this emerges in a few other places as well but it's pretty egregious here) that I just don't care for.

I support this. All great intentions aside Matter of Time is barely listenable.
