"Finally, King Crimson blossoms on this album. The first four albums showed flashes, particularly the first two, but this is a whole 'nother level. Not a cliche in sight, it sounded like nobody else, and they found a level of heaviness the previous lineups didn't--Bruford is part of that, and also..." [+] Reply

"This a good album for teenage angst. I mean that in a good way, it really captures some of that frustration. You will outgrow most of the lyrics that used to seem so great, but some will last. And the pop-punk sound always sounds great." Reply
