Pretty much stand by what I said in the first spins thread. Very typical modern rock disc - exactly what you'd expect from them to a t - with the commercial / balladic tunes being the obvious highlights. I dropped a sexy mini-review on this too for anyone interested:

 

1. Bringing Down the Giant - okay modern rock opener - 6.50

2. Michael Jackson’s Jacket - solid modern rocker - 7.00

3. Amazing - very nice commercial rocker - 8.00

4. Pine Mountain (The Dance of the Poor Proud Man) - interlude -

5. You Make Me Sick - not too bad when it gets going, but still not great - 6.25

6. Pictures of Elvis - solid but not great ballad - 7.00

7. New Loser - pretty awful, basically - 5.00

8. Me and You - good commercial rocker that reminds me of 3 Doors Down - 7.75

9. I’d Do It Again - kid of okay rocker, but not too appealing - 6.50

10. Bittersweet - another nice commercial rocker - 7.25

11. Those Who Wait - not a bad song, but not that great either - 7.00

12. Parachute - another good solid commercial rocker - 7.50

13. Constantly - solid ballad - 7.00

14. Take It Back (Bonus Track) - good riff and decent 3 Doors Down sounds, but poor chorus - 7.00

15. Love Sadistic (Bonus Track) - pretty cool modern rocker - 7.25

16. My Catastrophe (Bonus Track) - good solid rocker - 7.50

 

TOTAL SCORE - 70%
