they did get a bit s00per srs at the end there, didnt they?
fair play imo. bush era was a fucking neocon nightmare. im actually shocked that wasnt just the end of it all outright

great players tho
they had the "fun" that so many of their nu-metal contemporaries lacked
they werent afraid to go full circus on you in the middle of a heavy song. you dont usually see such a large band on a major label taking risks like that. takes balls to goof off that hard at the top lvl
bravo

oh shit
i got one

this album is still fucking GOAT all the way through
i remember all the standard-issue nu-metalers like the disturbed/linkin park/korn kinda crowd always bitched about them sounding like a circus. like no shit dude. thats why they mogged your tryhard shit so badly: they were unafraid of fun

they definitely had more commercial albums, and i could see better songs argued for in isolation. but the whole S/T is as good as that whole genre even got imho
also spiders is the greatest nu-metal ballad. period.
