One of the most boring, repetitious albums I've ever heard.
That's how I felt about pretty much everything they ever put out before this album. Something on this album got me to listen more than once or twice and I do enjoy much of it, although it is repetitious as always. For me, on this album, the music grabbed me, far more than the vocals (as always, which I think that Keenan is insanely overrated as a 'frontman'). Anyway, this album got me to go back and revisit some of their other stuff again, of which some of it I found a new appreciation for.
