Unless they change the singer, which must of sounded like and looks a  little 
bit like Rasptin! LOL! ~ LB

I  had to write about these guys this week for my weekly idiocy in THE 
NEW  YORKER and dug some of their stuff out for the first time in a long 
while.  I haven't heard anything off of their new record (though I think 
it boasts  some of the weakest cover art of the last decade), and I've 
always been  somewhat put off by their ties to whistleheaded "nu metal", 
but damn if  "Chop Suey" from TOXICITY isn't just a striking piece of 
music. When they  hit those high harmonies in that middle-eight (01:56) 
and again towards  the finale (02:51), augmented by the piano? Holy 
shit, I almost well up  and cry. I find it strangely affecting.

Has anyone heard their new one?  Is it worth checking out?
