Their angst-bait reputation by Issues was well-deserved, but this first album wasn't fucking around. This was the same year as Jar Of Flies and When The Kite String Pops, and these were the guys who listened to everyone getting primo heroin instead of shooting it themselves.

In some alternate universe, Fred Durst won the lottery and fucked off to Tijuana, and nu-metal is just the American version of NDH instead of a punchline.
