You heard me. This CD contains catchy hooks, killer choruses, all the classic elements of a Linkin Park song. Except this time, the musicians have talent. The songs still have the great guitar solos that made The Jester Race and Whoracle great albums, and Anders still uses his gutteral scream most of the time (although he does sing and moan occasionally). However, almost every track on here could be played on the radio with great ease if they weren't hardcore Sweedish metal. "Pinball Map," "Only for the Weak," "Swim," "Clayman," and "Satelites and Astronauts" are my favorite songs on here, but there really aren't any duds. If you like any sort of metal, you will love this CD.
