Once I tried to get into what was popular at the time to see what the hype was all about, after trying this album, I decided that I wasn't ready to expand my horizons to the point of listening to artless, immature, untalented, unimaginative, banal, idiotic, rap-rockers that are neither good at rap nor rock and are less hardcore (contrary to what they think) than Britney Spears. I was depressed that people could stoop to the level of actually thinking this garbage was any good, the disc's only useful purpose could be as an expensive coaster or something.
