**💭 Thoughts:** The nu-metal titans revisit the heaviness of their earlier sound for their twelfth album, *The Serenity of Suffering*. This is a flawless record, and I believe it to be one of their best since *Issues*. It maintains elements of their newer sound while recapturing the heaviness that made earlier projects, like their self-titled album, so special. Easily one of the best in their catalogue, and I’d even argue it rivals some of their legendary earlier projects. I really tried to find a flaw with this album, but I couldn’t. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Insane 🔵🥇 2.) Rotting In Vain 🔵🥉 3.) Black Is The Soul 🔵 4.) The Hating 🔵 5.) A Different World 🔵🥈 6.)
