I love the echo/delay/overlap at the end. I'm curious if I ever noticed it before ("Feeling This")
I don't recognize this song, but it has a cool start ("Violence")

Summary:
This album had some good tracks, and often stays close to the general sound of Enema of the State - at least from what I recall. With that being said, my intuition is that Enema of the State would be the better album. Absent of listening to the album, indications of this can be found via Billboard 200 and the band's most popular songs on Spotify. For example, three tracks from Enema of the State currently occupy the first, second, and seventh positions, while only two tracks from this album occupy the third and eighth position ("I Miss You" and "Feeling This", respectively). Aside from the comparison, I feel like this album has less energy overall and I'd almost only want to listen to "I Miss You" and "Feeling This" - perhaps with "Always" thrown in every now and then.

Overall Rating: 3.8/5
Favorite Song: "I Miss You"
