I do love most of the songs on this album, but the production was too shitty to call it their best, especially not call it a masterpiece. :2 cents: Even the band claimed they wish they could have re-mix the entire album.
The songs sound better live than they do on the album.
People are always telling me about the mix-down, and I never understand why. Maybe I need to go to musicians school or something, because I never understood the idea of mixing and the issue with that album. Anyway, it is their best album; most melodic, best lyrics, best song construction put together. I still remeber exactly where I was when I first heard it.
