Steal This Album was a travesty, its just the songs that they didnt feel fitted in with their other two albums.
S/t was excellent, a real breath of fresh air.
Toxicity was phenomenal. Not a single bad track, instantly catchy, nice and heavy in places, excellent vocals and lyrics, humorous parts...its one of the few albums I can listen to all the way through without skipping a single track.
I loved the first album, and the second was on my CD TO GET list. when it finally came out, I listened to it once with a buddy.
When it was over, we looked at eachother and wondered when the good part of the CD was supposed to kick in. I only liked a few tracks... and then the radio overplayed "Toxicity," so I got real sick of that song. Whenever Aerials came on the radio, I changed it so I did not become sick of that song.
Personal preference, I suppose.
