Sound: First off I would like to ask the reader a question. Is there anyone in the entire world besides me with a good music background who enjoys this cd? The internet is littered with just awful reviews of this CD and I am not gonna lie I do not understand it at all.

Ask me a few years ago if I was keen on reviewing a record by a band whose members spend roughly 90% of the time screaming incoherent words over severe guitar riffs and I probably would have told you to go stick it.
