Title: Utterly ridiculous
Review: I, like many others, was a big fan of "Opposite of December." It was a very solid release. Having said that...this album is mediocre at best. It seems as though any time that a hardcore band begins to incorporate melody into their music, they are immediately praised as visionaries. To be honest, most of this album reminds me of Incubus combined with a group of monkeys screaming randomly. Yes, it really is that bad. So many bands blend melody and hardcore music well. Poison the Well is not one of those. I do respect the hardcore PTW fans who stand up and defend this album and the band's right to be different. Unfortunately, different does NOT always mean good. You can do much, much better than this album.
