"Rock reinvented. Great guitar-only prog rock album. Minion's song, planet of insects and interstellar are the top tracks. The latter provided the highlight of my gig-going last year (2011)"  Reply

"They have been one of my favorite bands ever since Point #1 was released. They are also one of the few bands growing up that I still listen to a lot. This is without a doubt the best and my personal favorite. They only get better as time goes on and keep perfecting their craft."  Reply

"It's a nice album. It was actually a pleasant surprise, I expected an album full of "thrift shop", but it turned out to be something completely different. If Macklemore continues to improve, then I think he might stand a chance of standing the test of time in the music industry."  Reply
