Because Matheos and Moore are too cool to have "good" song titles.

For good song titles, *pushes you towards the PoS discography*

I have only listen to it once. But I thought it started interesting, but I got bored towards the end.

Sounds more like electro rock than progressive metal to me, so not exactly something I'm an expert in, but a very good album indeed!

what is electro rock? It is progressive metal, in fact it is their most progressive metal album if I may say so.

I didn't listen to the other albums, yet... So I cannot compare this one to the rest of the discography.
I meant that the general sound of this album isn't that heavy, riffs and guitar approach seems more rock than metal (beware, it isn't something bad!).
And the atmosphere created reminds my of some electronic/industrial kind of music (but I'm pretty ignorant about it, so I could be wrong), then of course it is Prog (with capital "P"), I forgot to add it. ;-)

What a great album this is. A journey, fit for different moods. Might be fav. OSI album followed by "Blood".

I don't go ape for prog very often, but I love this album to death. Just all-around good prog metal with a very slight electronic edge, and it does a great job of demonstrating the post-9/11 and War on Terrorism paranoia that was commonplace at the time.
