Recommendations: Smile by Skindred

Gimme That Boom's a pretty average nu-metal throwback...
The opening track before it Our Religion might be my favorite Skindred track period.
And Smile is probably the band's best album in its multi-decade career, with great production, infectious rifts, and a surprising amount of variety that really takes full advantage of the band's eclectic mix of genres.
Most importantly, it's just really fun!
