I've listened to The Crystal Method's new album Legion of Boom about eight times, and I can't tell if it's good or bad anymore. But I'm still listening, so that has to count for something.

While it's nothing groundbreaking, the beats on the album have that "You know you want to get up and dance" kind of appeal. This even makes it tempting to break out the body glitter, dust off the old Elmo backpack and whip out some glowsticks to have a light switch rave between classes.

Wes Borland -- the guy with the talent who left Limp Bizkit and looks like über-hot cartoon character Trent Lane come to life -- contributes some raging guitar to a few songs, most notably "Born Too Slow." This track will give tamer individuals a headache, but it's good de-stressing music, if de-stressing means running around breaking stuff.

Let's move on to the oddity of the album, Milla Jovovich's vocals in the song "I Know It's You." Back in the mid-'90s, the model/actress put out a couple unnoticed CDs as Milla, and the boys from The Crystal Method decided to play with her voice a little. She ends up sounding like a cross between that chanting dude in Enigma's song "Return to Innocence" and Enya, accompanied by the muted noises of what you'd hear from just outside a rave. Awesome … Only not.

"Wide Open" gets somewhat hard to listen to because of Hanifah Walidah's unending "Open like a what?" circular-reasoning vocals; luckily the lengthy track is the last one, so it's easy to hit the stop button before it really gets going.

Or, as I'm apt to do, just let the CD finish up and start over, because even at its worst, Legion of Boom is still pretty decent.
