After several listens of this new album now, I have to admit that it is coming close to the genius of White Pony.  It has been a while since an album from a band like this has even managed to cross my radar.  Korn has long since passed their prime, and Deftones where integral to this burgeoning scene as well.  They managed to really go into a much different direction with White Pony, and it always felt like they never managed to regain the same magic again.  It is nice to hear a band really interest me again, as I have taken a 4-5 year hiatus from much of music as a whole.  The adage from Almost Famous is quite true as you will listen to the music of your early 20's for the rest of your life as it really has a lot of emotional significance.  Also, I have not found that many bands to really care about in the past decade.  Sad really, when much of my early 20's was spent inside record shops immersing myself in any bands CD that caught my eye.
