Album Notes & Community Reviews
Polishing the jagged post-hardcore aggression of their debut into massive, arena-ready alternative rock anthems, the Toronto band achieved multi-platinum success. The intricate, discordant guitar work remains intact beneath Ben Kowalewicz's distinctively strained vocal delivery. It is a cornerstone of the 2000s Canadian mainstream rock boom.
