"Really love that album...for an album ranked as far as 10000+ I think it's pretty damn good ! It's their best after the first one of course... There is really awesome, overlooked songs on it like No Killing or Good Friend, but anyway most of the songs here are good."  Reply

Note to listen..."  [+]  Reply
