I like the new one. Can't compare it to Mesmerize, as they really are two different albums. They didn't put out one 23 song album because they thought it was too much music at once. If they felt the songs were best at 2-3 minutes, that's up to them.
My favorite tracks on the new disc are "Attack", "Hypnotize", "Holy Mountains", "Solider Side" and "U-Fig".
Plus, who pays $20 for a CD? I bought each one the day they were released for $8.99 each, and got a free T-Shirt with the 2nd one (at Circuit City). Together that was less than $20.
