Yeah man, I remember those articles you mention. Leading up to the album, I got the feeling that they were working on something pretty "out there". One article had a huge pic of dudes in the control room with a HUGE glass piece lol...I guess that kinda sums up the album. From Chaos is solid album, everything after that I'm not feeling at all. They chose to appeal to the same age group that was their base in the 95-96 heyday as opposed to catering to their older, die-hard fans. Just the way I see it though... Peace.
