This suffled into my rotation this morning and it's been a few years since I gave it a spin, but man it feels like it holds up so well. Lyrical themes aside, the crisp speedy riffs still get me. I've heard this album dozens of times but I am somehow pulled in and engaged every time. I keep giving their new material a listen but I haven't managed to capture the energy of this album.
