A creative, sporadic, dark and innovative autobiographical debut.

A consistent and focused semi-concept album, after two underwhelming releases and an increasingly monotonous sound.

Heavy, depressing, interludes? Is it 1999?

One of the band’s most playful, experimental and fun albums.

A continuation of the band’s new sound, that continues the sharp lyricism and layered dark atmospheric production, though a bit muddier than the previous record.

An interesting progression from Issues that showed their desire to change up their sound often, but also can feel pretty repetitive at points.

Just a really fun record, man.

A big step in the right direction.

A poor follow-up to the debut, but still contains some of the dark themes, aggression and dread of it.

A weird experiment, but one that would prove to be one of their most interesting albums. It also lead them back to the right path and that is very commendable.

Whilst a sellout album and one of their only “Nu Metal” albums, it’s still a fun time and has some truly classic tracks (and some stale ones).

Them caving in to fans and doing everything people would expect of them. Some highlights, but a rather dull and poorly produced shrug.

Boring and pathetic aren’t words I’d use to describe their debut, so why are they all I can really use to describe the “follow up”?

Bad ideas all around. Obviously some classics included and some decent deep cuts here and there, but a plain bad record.
