"It's absolute insanity that an album this good sits so far down the charts. I can only assume it's because not enough people have listened to Ween or White Pepper in particular. This is not a couple of clowns trying to make a novelty record. This is a collection of outstanding songs by gifted son..."  [+]  Reply

"I also agree that this album is underrated. They obviously understood that they needed to develop a new sound with more range to stay relevant, and they ultimately succeeded wildly. Nimrod planted the seed of experimentation, but this was when the seed sprouted and the sonic shift truly occurred,..."  [+]  Reply

It has some of my favs like Commercial For Levi, Passive Aggressive and Days Before You Came. also the singles are amazing and singles-wise this is definitely the best of Placebo. also how can people hate Spite And Malice? It's a..."  [+]  Reply

"Frankly, I don't know what Lambchop could have done best than Nixon (and particularly "Up with People") to get some love. Delicious orchestral country-soul is one of the best LPs of the 00s, try it."  Reply

"Conjures that sense of being permanently trapped in a grey and barren mindscape- with only the futile yearn for lost loves and trying to fix un-mendable past mistakes keeping him alive. One of the bleakest albums ever recorded, it's surprising how compelling it's utter hopelessness can be- a skin..."  [+]  Reply

"Some weak lyrics here and there and some slightly generic metal riffs, but the instrumentation and vocal delivery are gorgeous. Not a masterpiece, but a good enough symphonic metal album. Mother Earth and Never-ending story are the highlights for me."  Reply

"Probably the most light hearted album I've ever heard, I bet if The Strokes came out before this people would think of this as a parody album! That said its pretty good. Just straight up rock and roll with no pretense, classic post-punk revival."  Reply

"Exquisite, off-kilter dream-pop that conjures up a variety of moods, settings and time-periods. Very enveloping and an obvious precursor to later works in that genre."  Reply
