"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.

"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

"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

"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

"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

"Amazing, one of the best soundtracks of one of the best video games of all time... Amazingly Drowny, Evolvingly intense atmosphere, great interludes from mixed genres (Like Trip Hop ( "Heaven's Night"), Alternative Rock ("Promise") styles)... always mixing with the intense dark plot of the video ..."

"Hammer Horror... I have no idea what she is saying in the song but I am enchanted nonetheless. And that chorus... her voice is wonderful, spooky and otherworldly all at once. The strings are delightful and I think there might be a guitar too, like a really tiny one maybe. Anywhos... that song is ..." [+] Reply
