Pros:

Performances are bold and powerful, especially the lead guitar, which delivers some truly unique and wondrous solos

Lyrics are profound and brooding, only becoming more scathing and relevant with time

Songwriting is endlessly inventive and progressive without sacrificing its classic metal sound, balancing experimentation and accessibility perfectly

Cons:

Suffers from minor vocal and production issues at points

Begins to meander and lose its direction and momentum in its second half

Best: The Stage

Worst: Higher

9/10 A personal favourite
