No fear, childrens! The new album is better than anything during the O'Rourke-era and some are now saying better than anything since Washing Machine and one has even gone on to say best since Dirty.
Don't be left behind! Get this fantastic new album!!!
Gone are those boring 7+ minute songs that are way too drawn out and overly repetitive songs.
Back again is their mastery of short melodic songs with aggressive guitar and a whole album of songs that demonstrate variety while being cohesive!

I have to strongly disagree. The new album is not stronger than the Jom-era stuff. It's weaker. Although the melodies may be catchy, the whole album lacks the right amount of strength. The band sounds tired and spent.
