Through over production, unbearably cheesy lyrical content and musical masturbation, one wonders how an album like this could bring a band such mainstream success so quickly.
The first track 'Through The Fire And The Flames' comes on and it's amazing: insane guitar work, top notch vocals, and some cheesy (yet fun to sing along to) lyrics. The next song has pretty much the same format but with a slightly less catchy tune....and then the entire album seems to follow this pattern. It eventually comes to a point where it's not even songs anymore, but just Herman and Sam showing how fast they can play, which doesn't really offer any listening pleasure to the listener (hence the term musical masturbation). So you can fit 30 000 notes in in 0.5 seconds - there is no point to it if your song structure sucks beyond that point.

I remember when I was younger and used to listen to this and play Kirby Air Ride for the gamecube. Good times... They went very well together.

If they didn't do that annoying pick-tapping/whammy combo in every solo this album would be more bearable.

Cheesy as hell, still catchy. I remember playing the first track on Guitar Hero all day and night, some years ago...

There's a lot of great stuff here, but the guitar playing starts to underwhelm you after a while. The only truly memorable song is the first.
