"First listen impressions: I kinda feared it would be terrible. Fortunately, it isn't. Most Killers melodies don't grab me on the first listen (I disliked both singles on the first listen but now I love them), so I didn't really remember to many melodies and hooks but I liked the overall sound of ..."  [+]  Reply

"OK - spoiler alert. This may seem like a strange album for anyone to have as their #1 album of all time ~ except, in my case, this is my one & only album, recorded in the producer's loungeroom. I love this album (& I don't care what anyone else thinks) and I am forever grateful to have had the op..."  [+]  Reply

"This is Fates Warning's most accessible album, but don't let that make you think it's either watered down or too mainstream. The group does the ultimate job of creating something musically profound yet listenable. 8 cuts and every on of them is deserving of the highest praise. Not a dog in sight ..."  [+]  Reply

"Can get a bit daft lyrically at times, and has some annoying hooks, but overall a very strong album with mostly solid production and good turns from several features - Jay Rock, Raekwon, Kendrick. Blind Threats and Break the Bank are the main standouts for me, the latter should be a strong conten..."  [+]  Reply
