"Too late to fall in love with this now, I'm afraid. Back in the day they would've been a great gateway band to The Slits and some cool math rock. Still, the songs sound fresh and convey genuine feeling. And despite the mathy arrangements the grooves are pretty agreeable - they clearly prefer the ..."  [+]  Reply

"Best Anthrax album. A thrash metal masterpiece. That's right. I said it. Anthrax made a masterpiece. Joey is probably the best vocalist in all of thrash metal. I don't say that lightly either. Some of the best metal riffs I've ever heard. Indians is probably in my top 5 thrash songs ever."  Reply

"As a stand alone album this is pretty decent, in comparison to the debut it is pretty poor. Looking back now, the 4-5 year wait after the debut seemed like a lifetime and it ended in disappointment of course, but when I think of music 5 years ago from today it only seems like yesterday - the joys..."  [+]  Reply

"What an addicting album... swear I haven’t stopped listening to it since the night of its release. I was hooked on my first listen. Carti is surely evolving as an artist. Even if you dislike the project, there is no way you can deny that. The entire project features some new musical direction and..."  [+]  Reply

"a stupidly strong debut album that smashes genres and has the best swagger from track to track. amazing lyricism, and a really exciting full-length offering from a wicked new star."  Reply

"If we've said it once, we've said it a million times. The man has a knack for writing guitar licks. In my opinion, an improvement of the already solid debut album. I always hoped for a White Stripes reunion and while it looks like that will never happen, Jack White on his own seems to suffice jus..."  [+]  Reply

"Infectious, immediate and relentless math rock greatness. Foals' debut is just filled with this unrestrained momentum bursting through every song. I may be biased because I've listened to it so much, but there isn't a skippable track on this album. Quite possibly my favorite math rock record ever..."  [+]  Reply
