Unlike that terrible Papa Roach album, this slab of nu metal is actually quite an interesting and worthwhile listen! While there is rapping on one track, I would dare to call this progressive nu metal... albeit, that is usually an oxymoron. I would say this is one of the few pieces of mainstream to come out of this era in time that is actually worth a re-listen. The guitars are groovey (albeit, with fairly simple riffs), the basslines are amazing, and the drums play polyrythms! Plus, the lead scream has a pretty impressive dynamic range, as these songs are all over the place.
3.5/5 - Not ashamed to listen to this, except for when I pay too close attention to the lyrics ;)
