| I know this isn't really a perfect 5 album a la an Abbey Road, but the middle school nostalgia mixed with the fact that it absolutely still holds up today in 2018 make me give this the highest possible rating. Its heavy, melodic, and catchy without feeling superficial. Definitely in my vote for one of the best nu-metal/mainstream rock albums |
