What Greggers said

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah the biggest downfall for me is that the album wants to be like the older albums, so sounds cliche in that sense, and brings pretty much nothing new with it. It's not even a step up from St. Anger cuz it's actually logically a few steps back. I mean, it's a better record and all, but at least St. Anger and their 90s album were out of their comfort zones.
