Album Rating: 2.5

Whoa. I gotta disagree.

This album is the worst by the band in my opinion. i can only stand a few choice songs, and the rest is complete sh1t compared to S/T and Toxicity.

Nonetheless, good review. You do great work. :thumb:

"something vital"? "Boom!" "The Coral"?

I don't think agree with any of it, really, though I do like the band despite their questionable politics. Good writing, however.

The only good song on this CD is Mr. Jack, this CD just isn't good...

Digging: A Place to Bury Strangers - Exploding Head

I like this CD. It was the first SOAD album I listened to. True, it can't compare to Mezmerize, but I still like it.

Well written review too. :thumb:

You forgot to talk about one other silly song... F**k the System.

Album Rating: 4

When I first bought this CD I thought it wasn't that good. A few months later I started listening to it I came to like it more and more. Since the release of Mezmerize I've come to enjoy it even more.

It feels alot like a transition album between Toxicity and Mezmerize. Somehow listening to Mezmerize made me like this one even more.

I think it's a very undeappreciated album. I actually think alot of the intrumentality is superior to Toxicity.

Roulette and Streamline are some of SOAD's best songs IMO. Most of the songs are just plain fun for me, like I-E-A-I-A-I-O and F**k the System.

I dunno why alot of fans dislike it really, but since thinking of it as their experimentation to what will eventually become Mezmerize and (presumably) Hypnotize I've liked it alot more.

I give it a solid 4/5.This Message Edited On 09.20.05

Ehh, I mega disagreee.

IMO, this was the bands worst album. Half the songs weren't even listenable. The only thing I could stand, was Bubbles.

But as always, good review :smoke:

Oh, and no way are they like Mr. Bungle.This Message Edited On 09.20.05

I love this album. It has a immature, flat out rocking spirit to it that is absent from most music today that gets too full of itself and loses the original point of music.

I-E-A-I-A-I-O is one of the most uplifting songs I've ever heard. I'm not joking.

And unlike his other efforts, I like the backup vocalist's efforts on here, he adds to the whole fun feeling.

Awesome.

thanks for the positive comments...
and fine be that way for the negatives...
some v divided opinions here.
