Haven't broke this our for awhile and I like it more then I remember. This one got panned a lot and it wasn't Rob but the singer holds his own. Anyone else like it and where would it rate?

Very Strong songwriting, I really didn't mind at all not hearing Rob's voice, that makes up for it

Don't have it but it's been on my want-list since it's been released. I've heard some songs from it here and there and thought they sounded pretty good.

I reviewed this one for Detritus years back. Thought it was pretty meh. A couple of good tracks and a whole lotta filler. That song "Punk" where they dissed on rap-metal and Fred Durst was cringeworthy.
The album cover was godawful too. Still can't believe it was by Derek (Iron Maiden) Riggs. It looked like he hacked it out on a Mac in half an hour.

I agree about the cover, especially after some of the covers they have had in the past - although to be fair Grin and Bear It is pretty dumb...

I liked it, even the song Punk. Not a five star album but worth a spin from time to time.

Punk was funny once and then you don't want to hear it anymore.

Didn't know that, it was pretty bad.

That about sums it up for me as well. Had it for a brief time, then sent it packing.

I do like it, although a good chunk of the riffs on it feel so similar to others (Cough* Propaganda Mind*cough) it feels kind of funny. Still good though

I'm not hearing much in similarity and that ach gets annoying.

I've vouched for this one in the past. I love Pedal to the Metal. It might actually be my favorite overall Impellitteri, and I'm a huge Rob Rock fanboy. I don't know, I just like it.

I've learned that's all that matters. Unless you like My Chemical Romance, then you have issues.

Yeah that song sucks donkey balls for sure and agree about the cover as well. This is by far their worst IMO. My favourite might be System X, lots of catchy songs and kickass performance by Bonnet.
