this is far and away their worst album, honestly curious/fascinated to know what makes you like it so much.

I don't know what to say; I love all of their albums but this was the first one I got so maybe that influenced it. Do you actively dislike it or do you just think it's bad compared to their other albums?

a little of both, I try to listen to it like once every year, but it's so bad I just shut it off...it's the most phoned-in/trying too hard to be too many things/last-ditch-effort for another hit, major label album I think I've ever heard...

Though, I can understand the perception of if that was your favorite because it was the first album you'd heard, as, and this isn't a bad thing, you were just ignorant to what the rest of the catalog was like. Things like this happen...

when I worked at record stores years ago and would talk to kids who didn't like do or die, but loved all the positively inferior Al Barr era dropkick murphys records(at the time maybe just the Gang's all Here)...you just have to go, ok!? I'm confused but I'll let it go...
