I'd Give this around a 7.5. I thought It could perhaps be trimmed down slightly here and there, but also my top 9 or so could be interchangeable. I watched a couple of the videos too, I think I was really only mainly familiar with Good Riddance of course (any of you remember it was used for the Series Finale of Seinfeld in 1998). I did like Haushinka too (also any of you pick up it transitions smoothly from the end of Jinx?) Its repetitive but also has a good build up and bridge. Hitchin A Ride in some parts reminds me a little of bits of 'Holiday' from American Idiot, and also from one of Aussie punk/rock/pop band The Living End's song around the same time 'Second Solution' in a way. It also has a good build up into craziness in the final bit. Yeah the subject matter of King For A Day was interesting for its time, and theres bit of comedy all throughout the album too, (Platypus - hey an Aussie animal) as well as the more mature lyrical moments such as Redundant, Scattered, Good Riddance. Looks like there was a few bonus tracks there to maybe check out later too. Also having a few similar sounds, but also some ones that had a bit of a switch up, like Kinda ska vibes, the ballads, and the instrumental gave off a bit of a Western flavour or something, the slight metal voice in Take back, etc. I liked the flow of verse/chorus in Prosthetic Head and yeah it was a bit interestingly placed in the tracklist. The backstory to the title/cover art on wiki is also interesting. Here's a bit of a ranking below.

So pleasantly surprised at how good this album was!
