This was my favorite band as a kid, as a 36 year old, eh. I like some of the songs on here, over all it's a decent album. Corny moments like " put your screamy pants on" reminds me that Mike is showing his age in his lyrics. Rhyme schemes are a little cringe from time to time as well. Over all the instrumental side of this album is very well written. Chester's absence is VERY apparent.
