if it added a bit of energy or made the music more fluent then yea. i allmost fell asleep listenning to minutes to midnight (apropriate title)

Album Rating: 4.5

Yea, half the album if slow, boring filler or Chester trying to hard to rock out by himself. ATS has next to no Mike in it at all and doesn't even appeal to my radio fix (like "In The End", "Numb", "What I've Done", and "New Divide") let alone their better tracks.
