I think the first half of the album is great, 5 tracks of pure brilliance, but the second half doesn't interest me at all. RATM are an example of a band that i find good in small doses, but i don't know how people can listen to them nearly everyday.

You won't be able to if you're listening through most computer speakers.
Get a good set of cans or burn a 320kbps mp3 sourced CD and compare it to the same album sourced from FLAC on a true hi-fi system and you will be able to tell the difference.
