When I first listened to this CD I was like WOW, what a dissapointment. But after listening to it it grew on me a great deal. It is a completely different direction that Slipknot took and I do understand why Slipknot fans would hate this album but I definitly disagree. This album has got everything. Great vocals. Great guitar riffs. Sic drum beats. Also the occasional accoustic songs which I don't mind. Overall a great album
