Fucking awful album, and I don't even remember nor do I want to remind myself why. If '2004' and "R.E.M." didn't already sound alarming enough, it's far worse than you'd predict. The opener is... fine I guess, but that's probably just because it's the opener and you haven't been hit by some of the most limp-dick writing of any alternative rock album ever just quite yet.

But the onslaught is soon to come, since it's immediately followed by a dud and then a track with a feature from FUCKING Q-TIP. WHY. Why did you set ATCQ aside for this shit man, ugh. Oh yeah, then there's 10 more songs, all with varying degrees of suckage.

At least Reveal had "Imitation of Life" on it and Accelerate had more than one decent tune, but this? It offers next to nothing. Their worst album, one of the lamest rock albums that's ever assaulted my ears and a bit of a disgrace if I'm being honest. Good thing they're blurred on the cover, 'cause I don't even wanna look at 'em.
