If you are ever having a shitty day and are pissed off at the world. DILUTED is the song for you.

Honestly, the songs before and after (No Life and then Only One after Diluted), are one of the heaviest, most chaotic trifectas in their entire discography. No Life is the doorway to unbridled chaos, Diluted is the perfect bridge continuing that chaos, and then Only One is a showcase of their versatility. Corey literally raps his ass off, and then it's just some of the hardest, in your face groove metal that even lifelong fans of Thrash, Punk and Death Metal can appreciate. Just my three cents. The second half of self-titled is some of my favorite chaotic music ever so I had to nerd out since you mentioned Diluted.

You are absolutely right. I would argue that the entire self-titled album is "I'm pissed off at the world and I'm going to tell you", and I love that. Every time I find myself in a bad mood, I throw it on and by the end of Scissors, I'm in a much better mood. But Diluted has a special place in my heart. It just hits so close to home for me. I dunno, I just...feel that song on a spiritual level. And screaming "FUCK!" at the end of the song is so cathartic.

Anyway, thanks for nerding out. This is why music is called The Great Communicator haha
