I gave the album another listen, and I really like Inertialtic ESP and Roulette Dares... but thats about it....they are the only real songs that rock out

It took me a few listens to appreciate it more... I don't think it's an album where one listen is enough

Yeah... like at first, EVERYTHING sounded the same and it got raelly boring, really fast..... I listened again and began to see the skill they have and now enjoy 2 of the songs.... the other ones are just too slow for my tastes

They do have a lot of mellow/chill parts... like the part in Cicartriz ESP with two (three?) guitar solos, but after the song starts again it rules. Televators is a good song too, the vocals around "One day this chalk outline will circle this city" are sweet.

They are one of those bands that grow on you, like Metallica
