    In a genre considered creatively bankrupt, this is genuinely new metal. [Jul 2003, p.102]

    A modern, commercially-viable, carefully crafted rock record that also sounds violent, deranged and desperately, incurably sad all at the same time.

    Its densest aural jungle so far. [#17, p.136]

    I hated this record. Why are all these people talking about how innovative it is?? It's just the same old crap (screaming, simple guitars) that's all over the radio these days. White Pony was MUCH better. At least it didn't sound like the exact same song being played ten times in a row like this CD.… Expand
