[The Heron Outside]

No questions asked, an incredible record. A band that was happy to be making great music again, after No Code, which some found to be a serious drag (Though I enjoyed it) I'll stand by it, Do the Evolution is the best song of their career. Ed's potent anti-establishment fervour is littered throughout the record (Brain of J), and Stone and Mike's riffs make for great driving music. Though the Yield tour was the first time I ever had the oppurtunity to see a band live, which clearly designates this album as having a special place in my "ontology", I still think it's going to stand as one of their finest efforts....
