"CLOUDDEAD is a world of its own. The atmospheric dream-like beats flow into the album from the edges of space, slowly coming together into a loosely held congregation of the kind of hypnotic and emotionally evocative electronic twinklings and drones reminiscent of some of BoC's more spacious work..."

"Probably the most ridiculous rock operas you'll ever hear, this album takes you on a pretty awesome ride as you explore themes of religion and the concept of God." Reply
"Amazing, one of the best soundtracks of one of the best video games of all time... Amazingly Drowny, Evolvingly intense atmosphere, great interludes from mixed genres (Like Trip Hop ( "Heaven's Night"), Alternative Rock ("Promise") styles)... always mixing with the intense dark plot of the video ..."

"The visceral experience of a live Radiohead gig is impossible to transmit through a recording however, this did a pretty good job of it. The main 2 reasons for this are the outstandingly emotive and haunting renditions of Like Spinning Plates and True Love Waits. Many a time have I laid back on m..." [+] Reply

"The debut album for this garage rock band out of San Francisco is an album that deserves to be heard. And heard very loudly. Check out "Whatever Happened to my Rock n Roll" or "Spread Your Love."" Reply

"Wow....suprised this isn't much higher up the list for 2001. I really like this album, it's a warm fuzzy reflective offering which has one of my favourite Mogwai tracks....'2 Rights Make 1 Wrong'." Reply

"Good lyrics. Decent melodies, although not very varied. It is very well performed and produced. Not a lot of songs here would be memorable hits, but some songs are still catchy within this post Britpop style. Worth a second listen, IMO. 9/10!" Reply
"If you ignore the generic bubblegum pop lyrics this album is amazingly catchy and has outstanding production quality." Reply

"I listened to this and I faded out. I don't really know what happened, can't recall any thoughts. I woke up later, but was still trapped in this thing.
