"Speedy Ortiz rock. Yeah it is a bit like Pavement with Liz Phair's vocals, but who wouldn't love that? Grimy ass chords with some nice pop hooks are hard to turn away from."  Reply

"Skrillex might be the most innovative musician in the business - or at least with any chart presence. You have to argue that "it's not music, it's an air conditioner" (as nitro2k11 put it) is a unique sound; I would argue that there is definite melody guiding all the grinding, crunching. and grow..."  [+]  Reply

"A solid debut - slightly above average overall. It's pretty consistent, but there are only a few "wow" moments. The first three songs are particularly good, and The Killing Hand and Light Fuse and Get Away show flashes. Only a Matter of Time only got worse with age - it's not a good live song."  Reply

"It only took me two and a half spins to really get into this album. For people expecting Cross 2.0, you're going to be let down a little, but for people who are looking for a little change from their artists after a four year layover, I think this will be right up your alley. Justice breaks out t..."  [+]  Reply

"I think the last couple of songs could have been better - but overall the first side was very solid the energy was kept up through most of side two. One of her best albums."  Reply

"Incredible album, quality of songs and musicians is mind-blowing. I can now see why this album is number 4 in the best AOR albums ever recorded chart. In my opinion it's joint number one."  Reply
