I liked most of the album with Genocide, Just Another Day and Animals easily being the standout tracks however, I don't see this album measuring up to 2001 in the long run even though I didn't think that album was that great (The Chronic will never be bettered by the way).

This is probably one of the few Gut Reaction pieces where I actively tried to listen to each track more than once to take in as much of it as I could.
