"This wonderful band that always sailed on the edge of insignificance in the indie genre and yet released one extraordinary album after the other. And then, when you think things can't get any harder in this band's life, then bring this masterpiece! Well, I had to cry a little. I admit it"  Reply

"This is actually a respectable album, people over-look it because too much of the world thinks lil waynes career didnt start until the release of Tha Carter III. As far as low-down gangsta southern rap goes, this is as solid as it gets. Lil wayne showed some true potential to be a great rapper on..."  [+]  Reply

"Excellent double live album from their early days. I know there is some debate (now) whether bands like Whitesnake, Rainbow and Deep Purple were Heavy Metal bands. Put it like this, they were then! I saw Whitesnake with Cozy Powell on the drum stool and John Lord on keyboards back in the eighties..."  [+]  Reply

"A decent debut on Epitaph Records from a band who is hardly into their teenage years. I will eagerly await how the band matures over the next decade but right now they are reminiscent of The Go-Go's. Recommended. Condensed to a 7" Single: A-Side: Growin' Up B-Side: Talkin' to Myself"  Reply

"A pretty solid album, though many of the songs follow the same exact formula and sound pretty much the same, apart from the riffs and maybe a few add ons between songs. If there was greater diversity in songs, much like in "You Got No Right," and "Loving the Alien," with more diversity between in..."  [+]  Reply

"(Quite heavy in several senses of that word, and generally pretty intense and loud and ugly. I respect it, but don't quite love it in all its brutal, abrasive charms.) Right from the jump with the opening slab of industrial metal insanity I knew I was in for some intense and sharp and abrasive an..."  [+]  Reply
