I bought it yesterday, mostly because I found it for $10 and not any of the other 6 or 7 albums I want to purchase. Fantastic stuff. I'm a sucker for piano in a rock album, and this album has a ton of it, but it's also really good. The two singles that I really like, "Hysteria" and "Time Is Running Out" are basic full-throttle guitar pieces anyways.
Sort of Coldplay, except letting loose in a way Coldplay almost never does except for "Politik" and "One I Love." Which is fine; Coldplay is great at what they do and really opened a lot of doors. Just sometimes you want a little more frenzy in your music.

Plus, Brendan Nowlin, my local music consultant, likes them, so I feel better.
