Pretty good band, especially live. It's neat to see how their musical style has been progressing album-after-album, from the heaviness of their self-titled album to the almost poppyness of Mesmerize/Hypnotize. I do think the latter should have been released as a double album though, would probably have made it cheaper, but it's not as if they're the first band to have ever pulled that trick, Metallica's Load and Reload albums for instance (and to be fair, in both cases it's more likely to have been a record label thing rather than the actual bands).

I especially love their first album, since it carries so many memories for me of one long summer that absolutely rocked. For that, SoaD will always have a spot in my collection.
