I bought this album after hearing all the positive reviews about them and how they sound like some classic bands (i.e Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin). Now if you like to listen to classic rock with the bass all the way down and the trebble set to the max then we might be comparing these bands. All i could hear was Rush, and i hate Rush. I usually give bands a few tries before judging but i like my ears, so i opted to throw the cd out my window and beat my ears against my steering wheel, an obviously more enjoyable experience. Everybody's entitled to their own likes in music; people liked Rush, i personally don't get it. IF YOU HATE THE GROUP RUSH LIKE I DO, STAY AWAY! I am definatley not a pop music fan which is why i bought this album in the first place, i like to hear goups that are unique in these days of "hey, look at me, we sound like Lincoln Park too." This album just has a sound i hate.
