Agree and disagree.
I agree that Cauterize is in a different league. Head and shoulders above the rest.
But there are a lot of other bands too that come close to or as good as or better than Hit The Lights. One example Silly Fools. Yes if you just consider discography, then Cauterize and HTL are simply hard to beat, but so many other good modern rock bands have recorded killer tunes that are just as good as the best songs by Cauterize or HTL.
So ya, as a band, Cauterize are the best but song wise, in plenty.
