It's full of poppy songwriting, excessive allusions to other, inferior bands, one of the worst DT ballads ever ("The Answer Lies Within"), a mallcore hangover from Train of Thought ("These Walls") tuned all the way down to fucking A, and a very bland opener ("The Root of All Evil"). The last two tracks are all time classics, but there is some dull stuff to slog through before you get to those.
