Amazing record, can’t wait for the 20th anniversary (lol). Anyway, you see the passion and you see that Mike loves this album especially. To me the astonishing thing is that the record doesn’t get old, because it hasn’t a sound you can tie into a specific period of time (nu Metal, post grunge, modern pop...), but it has its own sound... you can really say that ATS sounds like... ATS. It’s art and it’s genre less (I mean you get Blackout, The Messenger and WTCFM on the same record).
Oh and what about The Catalyst, it’s a genere on its own, sounds like nothing I’ve ever heard in my entire life
