"The album is a mixed bag in my opinion. This album has the most metal to it's sound of the NIN catalogue, and that's not a positive point in my opinion. "Wish" and the instrumentals are great, but the rest is not to my liking." Reply

"I like this album very much. What I like the most is its "bluesy" sound and the lyrics of the songs. I find extremely interesting the voice of Ney Matogrosso, because he is actually a man, but I was convinced the first 10 times I heard the record that the singer was a woman.

"There’s is a recurring movie trope whereby the hero eventually realises they are and always have been in love with the nerdy geek next door. I pretty much feel the same way about Fountains Of Wayne, only understanding and appreciating recently how much they actually mean to me. Since “Radiation V..." [+] Reply
