Pros:

Singles are leagues above their contemporaries, offering up rocking guitar grooves, impassioned vocal performances and nuanced, complex emotional content that stands the test of time

Many individual riffs and passages can be fairly compelling, often utilising unexpected chord progressions or being very high-energy

Performances, especially the diverse and stellar production, are right across the board

Cons:

Many 'romantic' lyrics are downright creepy, ruining some otherwise tender moments

Mix is consistently unbalanced and overblown, often burying the vocals and drowning each composition in feedback and other abrasion

Many portions of the record transition from forgettable track to forgettable track and switch moods without any rhyme or reason, creating a disjointed experience

Best: Everlong

Worst: The Colour And The Shape

5/10 And my day is ruined
