Saosin - Saosin
cool vocals, decent sound . . .
. . . thats played to over kill, a lack of anything different, too one track minded .

Original, unpredictable
None

None

Lots of big tunes
A couple of average tracks

Very good vocals, music, lyrics.
A couple of weaker links

Great selection of tracks
Not necessarily 'best' but 'most played' hits
