Agreed. This is a notch below HT and Meteora. Those albums were something else, lightning in a bottle if you will. But this is a step up from their past two albums (minus a couple tracks) and has some real raw energy again. If they can keep that energy going and focus on making the music itself a little more creative and out there, maybe they can become something again (if they build off this album). But it's an improvement on the overall sound.
It would've been nice to at least have some backing vocals or a scream from Daron, but these two sound awesome together and this is my favorite track to this point. It definitely has the best chorus of any so far, much more inspired.
Nice to hear Daron's wicked guitar riffs again. I've missed those.
