I am not quite sure why, but I absolutely love this CD. While my tastes have been migrating farther and farther from the nu/metal, top 40 rock scene during the last couple of years, when I first heard "I Hate Everything About You" on a local radio station, I bought this CD on a whim. I was really surprised at the overall quality of this release. While the first single, the aforementioned "IHEAY" is riddled with hooks that demand multiple listens, the rest of this self-titled debut is surprisingly strong. Two songs in particular, the gut wrenching "Home," and the cathartic "Let You Down," are perfect examples of nu/metal done right. The vocals are impressive, and musically these guys are much sharper than I thought at first listen. Recommended.
