When I first put the cd into my player it shocked me, after feeling this it was not what I expected at all. It took me another listen to really get into it but once I did I realized it was well worth my 15 bucks. It was new and interesting. I've never heard a sound like this and I think it will inspire people who were sh*tting on them for "selling out", that they are actually good musicians and they deserve respect. Selling out is such a lame turn, if a band gets makes an artistic change its probably because they wanted to try something new. They completely remodeled their sound, this C.D contains hard rock riffs, with some cool vocal experimentation. It's almost every rock genre combined. --- 5 stars best purchase of the year
