"The first part of this album doesn`t count. It`s a compilation... Fantastic work, but available on proper albums. I rank this based on the second part - it`s almost better than Dangerous. Scream is underrated, and Stranger in Moscow is fantastic." Reply

"This album is an amalgamation of a few different genres. It has its lo-fi sound to it in places, it has some great guitar-work like you would expect out of straight rock music, and it has the reverb and spacey vocals you’d expect from dream pop. It’s a strange combination that actually works quit..." [+] Reply

"This was a great reinvention, from changing his name to changing his lyrical depth. I think it has become customary to dismiss JCM as a redneck and even (very mistakenly!) an overly patriotic conservative. Anyone who thinks along those lines needs to listen more closely. This is far more intellig..." [+] Reply

"I like this album better than Three Imaginary Boys. The added tracks really do the album good. And some lesser tracks are dropped. I don't regard this as a compilation.." Reply

"In my personal opinion, this this is Foals best album, most of its tracks, except of Bad Habit, Stepson, Out of the Woods (which are average songs), the rest of the album is phenomenal, just crazy!! I cant take it out of my head. My number, Inhaler, Providence, Last Night, Milk & Black Spiders......" [+] Reply

"The first album Elvis Presley recorded after leaving the army. It's arguably his best, most consistent, and most enjoyable album.

"An abrasive electronic record that sounds absolutely huge. One of the best of 2009 and absolutely deserves a place in the top 20 of the year, kicking off one of the many undeserved mediocre indie rock albums out of its place." Reply
