This was the second episode after MTV2's relaunch, and the crazy video titles in the middle of the screen are certainly not going away. Almost everything else is tolerable, except the dog logo and random other clips between videos can get annoying.

Many changes this week, including a new theme for Subterranean and a relaunch for MTV2. New video titles and messages appearing during the middle of videos can be annoying. There were some random clips shown between videos. The show signed off with about 15 or 20 minutes to go, like the old 120 Minutes on MTV2. Everything about the new MTV2 seems random and unpredictable, which can make the show harder to follow.
