Yep, this lives up to the hype. Favorite album, I've heard this year. Though the other albums I've heard, while were pretty good-all right, I hadn't heard a really great album yet. Cauterize just became that 1st really great album I've heard of the year. Enjoyed Radical Change, Cauterize, Fall Again, Sympathy, and Providence. My only gripes is that with 10 songs that lasted only like 50 min., it felt so short of an album that I wanted more damn it! Thankfully, there will be more when Dust comes out, probably next year. Until then, I shall keep listening to it and probably some songs will be more enjoyable on 2nd listens.
