"Heard what I thought was the full original album, turned out it was a special edition with extra tracks so I found it rather repetitive. Will edit my rating when I get round to listening to the actual tracklist! Stuck between The Smiths and The Stone Roses." Reply

"I'm not all 55 minutes through it, and my opinion hasn't changed much. This is a really cool album. I'll definitely be coming back to it. I'd also like to note that I just looked at the playclock for my last comment, and it happened to be at 23 seconds. It didn't even register with me that that w..." [+] Reply

"The world's first (and only?) metal band that doesn't take itself - not to mention metal music - seriously, but who put writing good songs its top priority. It's funny how most metal heads are surprisingly easy-going and even intellectual people, yet they often listen to music that is as insular ..." [+] Reply
"Are you kidding me, KGLW? 11 years and 20 albums later, these guys may be hitting yet another peak with IDPLMAL. This self-described "jammy" album features tongue-in-cheek lyrics that offer a smirk and a wink towards contemporary jam bands (the same way Infest the Rat's Nest did, but for heavy me..." [+] Reply

"This album is tough to gauge because it feels like things were just different when it came out. I love this album but there are some lackluster songs on here. But, a lot of its mediocrity is reconciled through some of its jams; namely Erase Me, Mr. Rager and GHOST!. Tough to say whether it's bett..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic follow-up to Kaputt. Love it. Bejar definitely gained a huge group of new listeners four years ago, and I'm assuming he figured he'd need to up his game a notch. It's a super lush album, layered with dense orchestration, yet it still feels so dreamy and light. TImes Square and Dream Lov..." [+] Reply

"This album feels like it is just there in my opinion, it is neither good nor bad. The rhythms just don't captivate you as much as you would think a dance album would do. I find myself struggling to even bop my head along to some of the songs. It is a little slow in places as well and does drag ev..." [+] Reply

"This record is gorgeous. A post rock, downtempo, and triphop record that gets to me. Love the atmosphere these songs make. In the far reaches of space or in the distant tundra on a deserted planet, this record gets to me perfectly." Reply

"A bounce back from One by One. Foos got ambitious. They didn't quite nail it, but give them credit. There is a tonne of good music on this album - both discs. The acoustic surprises, and the electric delivers the usual Foos strengths." Reply
