Summary:
I like the sound of the album. It's very cohesive, but perhaps that's because there's too much of the same sound.

"Reptilia" is hands-down my favorite and it happens to also be the most popular on Spotify as well. Interestingly, the single only made it to #19 on US Modern Rock, while "12:51" made it to #15 on US Modern Rock and fails to make it on the band's top 10 most popular songs. It is possible this is due to the song's inclusion in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. In fact, that's probably why I like it best.

Overall Rating: 4.0/5
Favorite Song: "Reptilia";
