"Josh Ritter's "the animal years" starts off with a girl in the war" crying "paul said to peter 'you gotta rock yourself a little harder' / pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire". That sets the tone for the whole album. There are some beautiful lines on this one song al..." [+] Reply

"Great, consistent!" Reply
"An eclectic, eccentric collaboration of former Dresden Dolls member and pop piano tunesmith Ben Folds comes up just short of hitting the mark. The weird and wonderful are topics du jour. Some guests show up, including Dead Kennedys drummer East Bay Ray and St. Vincent's Annie Clark, but it mostly..." [+] Reply

"Even though labelled as a thrash metal band, quite a few tracks at times have a goth-y undercurrent. I'd like to rate it higher as there's some decent tracks, but I can't get past the poor production quality which makes it sound 2nd rate. On a positive note though, extra points for using Hieronym..." [+] Reply
"As I was preparing to write a BEA review for this album, I read the Paste review and realized that there was really no point in attempting to clarify and quantify my opinion at this time.

"Post-punk mosh pit meets the euphoric Rave dancefloor. Records that take pride in comparative dreariness always hit the spot for me, and this is an ecstatic new take on those themes. It’s hard to understate how much I love both the post-punk and the Acid House influences this album draws from, an..." [+] Reply

"Is it a really great band? Almost! They have all the ingredients necessary. Great musicianship, taste and creativity. But somehow they fail on arrangements. Almost every song of this record has tons of instrumentation. I know the band is big but that doesn't mean that everybody should play at all..." [+] Reply
