    I rate this title on for age 13 and give it 4.0

    Not a bad album

    I got this album a couple of year ago. It might not be the best ever but it is a pretty good album. Heavier than their previous album.

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 4.0

    This is a good album. I like the fact that there is more garage sound here then their previous releases. But they do have a very good discography. Very good.
