Pretty good, but I expected more.

Review Score: (10/10)
This is a pretty good album, but I expected it to be a lot better. The only song I really knew that well was "Man in the Box", and I love that song, but nothing else on here is near that good. None of the songs are bad, but some of them are, well, kind of boring. I have only listened to it once, however, and it is possible that I will like it better with time. This is the only AIC album I have, so I can't accurately compare it to their other albums, but I have the feeling that "Dirt" may be better. I am a pretty big fan of AIC and I was all ready to love the heck out of this album, so I am disappointed that I didn't like it any more than I did. It gets five stars because, like I said, it may grow on me, and because "Man in the Box" is such an awesome song. Too bad they're not all that good, then you'd really have something. Anyway, this album is good, but it's far from the best.
