"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

"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

"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

"Turnstiles is one of Billy's greatest albums, with several classic tracks, however, it also has without a doubt the worst song he ever wrote, the mindless, unimpressive sequence of sounds known as "All You Want to do is Dance". Get the album, skip that track. Other than that though, this is a gre..." [+] 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 ..."

"Sadly it and "Avocado" fall into the "generic version of themselves" category that most artists end up doing during their career. Riot Act and Binaural are leagues better." Reply
