The proper follow-up to Among the Living was somewhat disappointing in its inconsistency. While there are some good moments -- &Be All, End All& is one of the band's most melodic moments, and several other tracks catch fire -- the best thing here is a cover of Trust's &Antisocial,& and it doesn't bode well when covers outshine original material. The lyrics continue the self-consciously intellectual, PC approach begun on Among the Living, but about half of the album is surprisingly dull.
