As usual, Darius lists several artists I've never heard so now I have to check them out.

[alvarezbassist17]

i'll work on this too, but first i have to say that if not now, when? totally blows dicks and anyone who puts it on their list just has incu-bias.

[theis]

I don't hate it, but it sounds more like a Brandon Boyd solo album.

There are some good songs on it: In the Company of Wolves, Isadore, Title track.

But yeah, it won't make my top 10 list.
