The album definatly grows on you, but I think thats the style of their music. They have the few songs to draw you in, and the more you listen to it, the more you enjoy it as a whole.
I have to agree that it seems that Laz is going a bit "there are better bands that I like, that aren't getting the same mainstream appeal. Tool suck in comparison and don't deserve their fame" frame of mind. It's not the best album I've ever heard, but it's not a write off straight away either. I think any CD I've enjoyed took me multiple listens to enjoy before I pass a final judgement.
