This is one of my "nostalgic" records-- I listened to it a lot when I was younger. Thus, maybe I'm being too lenient with it... but oh well. I still think this is a really underrated album. Some fantastic lyrics ("For Fiona," "There Will Be Revenge"), great riffs/melodies ("It's Tragic," "Part Two"), and good performances, especially from Tony Sly. Sure, "Failing Is Easier (Part Three)" is kind of random, the mix is dry, and some of the auxiliary stuff (voice samples) is clunkily added in, but Keep Them Confused is overall a very enjoyable listen.
