considering this was an album that was a new project made by someone who had created multiple albums previously, this feels amazingly like a debut album from a band. It never hits the heights of demon days or PB, but every song is at least good, and the whole thing has a singular vibe that carries on throughout the album. some corny moments, like dels rap on rock the house, but generally tight with no obvious skips or moments to lose. gets a four because there aren't any half stars on this and its not a 5
