"A record that is a tale of two sides with one being extremely mellow and delicate and the other being aggressive and loud. This contrast works brilliantly in my opinion and it makes both sides stand out more effectively. It benefits the second half a lot more with songs like Hero sounding far mor..." [+] Reply

"Rock fans were eager for a decent Rock band in the early 2000's. At this point all there was on offer was screamy punk rock like My Chemical Romance or no fat fast rock like The Strokes.
