"This is an awesome thrash album. The original mix is dirty but actually adds to the songs. Any thrash or Megadeth fan will enjoy this album. It gets my recommendation for Looking Down The Cross alone."  Reply

"Album Rating: 76.09 (837/11) Perfume Genius (Glory - USA - Mar 25) - Glory 28.03.2025 Another very good Perfume Genius album, albeit one that once again hits the mid-70s without ever endangering the decade chart.

"A fantastic Indie-Punk album. The album can really only be described as 'Fun'. That's what it is, a few people rocking out on their guitars and having fun with it. As for the actual band, it's a very sad story, and may the members rest in peace."  Reply

"This was their big breakthrough, the album that made them famous to some and infamous to everyone else. They get ripped on a lot by people who make the mistake of taking them too seriously. I don't take this seriously and I doubt Fred Durst and friends did either. It's just a fun goofy rap rock p..."  [+]  Reply
