I actually think this was the worst in their discography. This review is all backwards from my perspective. Not only is the production bland, but the vocals are very off, the songwriting is boring, and the album had neither the psychotic eccentricities of their debut album, nor the mainstream, digestible appeal of the second. Really, it sounds like an album that is full of filler, does only a few interesting things, and in the end feels like it takes way too long to get through, despite it clocking in at only 43 minutes long (it feels like an hour).

Don't get me wrong, I've still enjoyed this album, and your review was well written from an understandable perspective, I just don't agree with it at all.

Also, I must point out a few other things. Chic'N'Stu is not actually just about pizza, it's about advertisement. They got the inspiration for a song when an advertisement for pizza came on and suddenly they were hungry. So it is, in essence, semi-political.

One other mistake to point out: Daron has actually done vocals on the first album. I can't think of every instance in which he has provided his vocals, but the first two things that come to mind is in Suite Pee, right after Serj growls "DIE", daron says "Like a mothafucka!". In Sugar, that's Daron saying "Suga!".

Thanks for the critque. Ah, and you're right; I did forget about the minor vocals Daron did on the first album. But still, they weren't as significant as they were on this album.

Is just a compilation of tracks, not a studio album, that's the funny thing of this album. Personally i have good memories about this, is weird, with hilarious songs and it sounds really sick. So much better then all the next albums follow to this one.

an album is a compilation of tracks. You mean this is a compilation album, which it isn't. It's b-sides left over from Toxicity if I'm not mistaken, and all the tracks were recorded in a studio and have not appeared on anything before this (so not a compilation album).

Yes, that was exactly what i would say....i don't know wtf i was thinking, btw my english fails me this time....what i would say is that in fact, it's a b-side album.....forget about it, i was drunk haha
