I think it's their best album, just shading it over the debut. It seems like Chris talked ever so slightly disparagingly of it in the docu that came with the best of (2004?), saying about how they tried to cram so much "playing" into the songs, to the songs' detriment, but I see it the opposite way. They're a top power trio and even with Andy (who is more controlled and doesn't quite have the energy of Trav), they have more than enough in their locker to riff solidly, at higher tempos, a bit more than they do.
