Let me give a shot at this:

This album really grew on me... at first I didn't like it that much and spent months without even listening to it.

But a couple songs came on shuffle the other day and they really caught my attention. Mark is not a lead singer, his voice lacks power but he does make his songs work, despite all the filters they added in post-pro.

There are some riffs that are nasty and excellent for a day of anger! And I see some many people express their dislike for "Doesn't Matter" but to be quite honest I think that's my favorite song of the album. I understand this was a song AB discarded on the ABIII pre-pro, but I remember seeing the title on the white board.

I don't hate it. But it may be my least favorite (besides the title track) on the record. I saw it on the white board for ABIII. That might have been interesting with Myles voice. I would have preferred it over Fallout or Breathe Again for sure.

Actually, if I had to leave off one song it would've been "So You're Afraid." The riff just lacks personality to me, compared to the rest of the song (plus it sounds an awful lot like the one in "You Waste Your Time.") And the chorus is fine, but not much of a standout in my opinion. "Proof" and "All I Was" would've been next in line.
