I used to be such a sick fan of taproot, but then came welcome. Basically I have found that the CD sounds like a softer sounding Tool which is HORRIBLE. Taproot's first CD was aggressive, innovative, and perfect front to back. This CD has one great song, POEM and everyone knew that from the single. The rest of the album is SO soft, stephen decided to scream about once every 3 songs, what happened. I seriously wanted to cry the first time I ran through this album, I wanted to throw up. I waited about 2 years for this disc and its so bad that I am not even anticipating their next release. THE SINGLE WORST FOLLOW UP ALBUM I have ever heard. Go back to your roots guys. People are going to go to the concert and have to wave CANDLES in the air instead of banging their head and moshing to death, seriously though. The songs are that weak. See for yourself but do not waste your money. Out
