Don't believe all the hype that the Queens suck now because Nick Oliveri was fired from the band and now this album will be awful. While it is different than it's predecessors, heading even further in the direction of Songs For the Deaf as far as conception and overall sound, this album ROCKS. Just listen to songs like Little Sister, Medication, Tangled Up in Plaid, and the long space-outs Someone's In the Wolf and The Blood Is Love. Heady (and heavy) stuff!
