Papercut opens the disc, and from a production point of view, this recording is beautifully done, with Andy Wallace at the knobs, and Don Gilmore producing, that's a team that you'd expect a decent recording from.

I know my guitar set-up isn't quite up to scratch, so I know it is my mission in life to get it sounding like this, the first single, One Step Closer. Things change around a little (a lot) with With You. It's still more proof that hiphop has had a huge influence on metal over the last couple of years.

Points Of Authority deserves a mention just for the weird shit that goes down in the last few seconds, a la White/Rob Zombie remix albums.

As we move on, By Myself is very poetic, but it's poetry value has nothing on In The End. I mean come on; In The End has a piano!

The next chance you have to blast into some heavy shit is Forgotten. Come to think of it, this group does seem to span quite a wide range of styles. They sure have my approval.

The album isn't over yet. There are two songs left to make the album just that little bit cooler, and what do you know? Cure For The Itch has done it in one! The lo-fi drum samples mixed around in some weird piano and other synth sounds add that extra dimension to the album.

Pushing Me Away however goes back to the guitar stuff that logically they do best. It's not that it's bad; it's more that Cure For The Itch surprised the hell out of me.
