my bad, son...

in bizarro land, maybe. it's clearly their worst record.

It's a great album but not nearly their best work.  Adrenaline & White Pony both have naturally better songs and Diamond Eyes and KNY both have the production level to kick it's ass so...

hi man

I love the rawness and emotion that album has. It sounds like there in the room as me when I play it. Im not a big fan of the new overly produced albums but KNY is still amazing nonetheless.

It is their most underrated, but not their best.

Somewhat agree.

S/T is indeed their most underrated, but it's either that album or AtF that I call their best.

This. 1,000x this.

Definitely most underrated but probably not quite best. It has some of their best songs, and I also love its continuity and atmosphere, but frankly there are also several really weak tracks (GMB, Lucky You, Bloody Cape... flamesuit donned for the last one).

The Deathblow/WGTB/Battle-Axe sequence is pretty hard to top, though.

Also, I'm a pretty depressed guy and listen to disproportionately-negative music, but S/T is one of the few records even I frequently find I can't handle unless I'm in the "right" mood.

S/T is really good but it's not my favourite it lacks mood dynamics it's a bit too one dimensional and it doesn't feel like it's telling a story like some of their other records
