Great album. Having a hard time really posting my thoughts, but the rankings are easy enough:

Papercut
Killer opening tune. Easy to enjoy, gives you the strong points of the band, classic opener and it wasn't played to death like the other singles.

With You
I love the 90's style industrial stuff in the background. Like God Lives Underwater and Two with 00's style vocals.

Points of Authority
"F-f-f-f-forfeit the game" that part always got my so hype. I wish the chorus was a bit better. Again there's a bit of God Lives Underwater in the music here.

By Myself
Great song, love the pre-chorus (is that a thing?), don't care much for the actual chorus.

Forgotten
Reminds me a bit of By Myself, and a bit of Points of Authority, where there's a catchy part of the song that I REALLY like but the singing part of the chorus doesn't really land at all for me.

One Step Closer
Banging single. It lacks any sort of nuance but it's great for it, and a bit relatable even if we don't walk around feeling like this 24/7 the way we did as young people. Probably heard this song more than I needed to but happy to hear it these days.

In the End
Classic, nothing really wrong with this song. So straightforward with how depressed these guys are/were. I like how often they don't blame others - this is so authentic (and I'd say this even if dude was still alive).

A Place for My Head
I like the song but the good stuff isn't as good as the songs above it. I do like the chorus better than a lot of the stuff above it, though!

Pushing Me Away
I like the cascade guitar sound. Much of the album uses it, but it really fits a final track like this, along with Chester's vocals.

Runaway
I kinda like the song but it makes me think of Gravity Kills (better) or like some generic Korn/Limp Bizkit song (worse).

Crawling
The crooning style parts are just not for me. I know the material is pure but it just feels like its pandering and it's a shame. But you gotta make a few bucks so I get it, and there's plenty of stuff to like on the album.
