Listening to this album for the first time as a newer age metalcore fan feels like looking at the baby pictures of your best friend. This album was the perfect stepping stone the entire genre. Its huge layered riffs mixed with amazing singing and aggressive screams were such an influential part of metal history because it gave way for more amazing albums in its wake. 1 sound I hear potently is that of The Poison from Bullet For My Valentine. An insanely good album, both for the time and today. Holds its own against some other top metalcore albums of all time.
