It's aight. I think I will revisit this later on when I "understand" The Cure more.
I like each album more with each relisten so I expect this to continue to go up but it's still my least favorite. I noticed that strangely, with this album, the second half tends to be stronger than the first half. Very rare.
Good album for 2006-2012 lostprophets fans who wanna go without thinking about el diablo, but mostly lacking the pop sensibility, swapping it for more of an edge. I can forgive the repetition for the most part, but some variety would've been nice.
I don't like death metal much but the good songs here I come back to frequently.
This album is really hard to rate because the songs that I like range anywhere from pretty good to wonderful, but the songs I don't like, I cannot stand. In either case, they fell off compared to MMMM.
Not quite as good as I was expecting (if this is their best album then I don't think I'll bother with anything else) but I'm glad they got famous for the songs here that are worthwhile.
It's no Permanence, but they're two for two in the "sick fuckin record" department.
Wish I hated it more than I do. Given that all of the singles released between the time I was in 8th-12th grade, though, when I evolved from a troubled emo little prick to a (hopefully more self aware) cringe apologist, I can't hate them. The 4 new songs are complete shit though.

"check out the banana man music video if you haven't already. I think it helps contextualize the song and makes it easier to appreciate the novelty of it."

"@RandomBro Dangerous is extremely repetitive and not noteworthy outside of a handful of songs. Far from his worst but everything he did with Quincy Jones was significantly more worthwhile as a complete package."

"@RandomBro You are a dork. I have been listening to Michael Jackson since before you were born. I own his entire discography on CD, don't pretend like you know me or what I do or don't want to admit."
