If you only put out an album every half decade they better be really f*cking good. This one is. Heavier than their later stuff, but lighter than Opiate or Undertow, it has some real gems. I can listen to the whole CD without skipping a single track. You can't do that with most CDs.

We're gonna miss Him

Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipsh*ts
Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see armageddon soon

I sure could use a vacation from this
Stupid sh*t~

Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis"

Stretching up and over me."
