"This album stunned me. Prophetic, apocalyptic, tender and dark. It made me realise just how powerful music can be when it has poetry in the lyrics, and just how lame most song lyrics really are. I read an interview with Mogwai once. They asked them why they don’t write lyrics for their music. The..."  [+]  Reply

"I like to crank this up on my ipod when I'm feeling paricularly misanthropic, usually at work. It rocks hard and although it's a long way from being in my top 100 there are times in life when nothing's better than having this thundering through my brain."  Reply

"Good is a testament to how surreal reality really is. It sounds like the clouds or water, like it's coming from a submerged level of consciousness. It's both tough and poetic, mystically concise, like remembering bits pieces of an important dream."  Reply

"Screaming trees should of been bigger. Mark Lanegan is one of the finest singers with his melodic grunge rock vocals (even though I wouldn't call this grunge at all). This is a hidden gem from that era."  Reply

Too bad he went all weird in promotion of this album and too bad peop..."  [+]  Reply

"I love the music on this one! Wind It Up and Your Love on great songs for when on the move. Everybody in The Place is as fast as they come. The final tracks are excellent too if you can forgive the cheesy vocals in Fire. Plenty on other hear. All tracks sound so different yet so familiar at the s..."  [+]  Reply

""New Miserable Experience" is an alt-pop gem borrowing from big star, and is near-perfect in its effortless alt-poppy-ness. Almost every track sounds like a hit. This is another album that closes with a pseudo-alt-country song at the end called "cheatin'" which has the fun line "you can't call it..."  [+]  Reply

"The album is a mixed bag in my opinion. This album has the most metal to it's sound of the NIN catalogue, and that's not a positive point in my opinion. "Wish" and the instrumentals are great, but the rest is not to my liking."  Reply
