It depends on your tastes. 'Revenge' has stronger songs, but the direction of COS is heavier and darker. I like the album(although most fans despise it), but if you're looking for something that's radio friendly and accessable, you'd better pass. If you want something really heavy, a bit trippy and rather modern(Alice In Chains, Soundgarden-at least for 1995 when it was recorded)but lacking in regular radio accessability, then give it a try. It could have been a great album if they spent a bit more time on the songs.
