PoM are one of the few "post-grunge" bands out there that i have ANY respect for. they took grunge as an influence and didnt just try to copy the genius of cobain and vedder for a dollar. this album is NOT perfect, but it is damn good. i would say it is better than anything that some of the grunge wannabe's like seether, bush, nickelback, or staind have ever released. definatley worth listening to...
