"How can you rate this before it comes out? The version yesterday wasn't complete and even if it was, it was a livestream of music being played over an arena sound system, not exactly the best audio quality." Reply

"Seriously, listening to 40 mins of El-P and Killer Mike calling out all the fuckboys in the world is as good as it gets. Yeah i know that's not representative of the entire album but its bloody refreshing to finally hear a hip hop record with the balls to ignore label stereotypes yet still be as ..." [+] Reply

"Some years ago a friend and I spent several summers climbing all seventeen county highpoints in Nevada. To reach all these, we had to do a lot of driving on bumpy dirt roads through the desert. Fortunately for us, we had two artists we both liked listening to: Neil Young and Built to Spill. Ridin..." [+] Reply

"It's very difficult for me to break apart albums such as this one because nu-metal is not a genre that I'm familiar with. I find it hard to decipher between the songs that I'm hearing as being thorough and strongly executed ideas and what is filler/what are the weaker tracks. But I think this alb..." [+] Reply

"This album changed my life, and these guys could have easily been the next Beatles if their record company didn't screw them over. Every song has that perfect crystallized pop sound that gives me goosebumps, and I think "Give Me Another Chance" has some of the most moving harmonies and lyrics eve..." [+] Reply

"A landmark album for my change in taste of music, and for that maybe it gets more credit in my book. I hate comparing anyone to anyone, but I like to think of Phoenix as what Of Montreal would sound like if they actually sounded good. Following It's Never Been Like That, this album shows how Phoe..." [+] Reply

"Been binging on this album for a few days, and it's becoming quite the love fest. I used to dislike his vocal delivery, but it's really grown on me, plus his lyrics are some of the best. And the music is splendid." Reply

"People on this site love dumping all over pop albums for no reason. If you given this album a 5/100 you clearly haven't listened to it open mindedly or at all." Reply
