"Certainly deerhunter''s most experimental work. A heap of sonic guitar effects, distorted vocals and lengthy instrumental sections still make this a great listen however. Fans of halcyon digest may find this to be a bit of an adjustment at first, though fans of shoe gaze/ noise rock acts such as ..." [+] Reply

"Pure excitement with lots of great, great songs. The album is much more then radio friendly dance pop. This thing got a shining world of music in it. But it's just too bad that apparently it's the only album of the band that I can really listen." Reply

"In my opinion this is one of the best albums of the new millenium. It launched John Mayer into superstardom. He's a better guitar player than given credit for and these songs are really catchy. They still hold up 10 years later." Reply

"Who doesn't like symphonic-prog death metal with a Valkyrie-like female singer from the Netherlands? I certainly can't think of anybody, except maybe my Mom, and some of her friends... also, most of my friends... Anyway, it's like they took all the metal subgenres that everyone makes fun of all t..." [+] Reply

"Sort of a new way to render No Wave. There is melody but without any logic direction in its evolution. Instead, the focus is all on the martial/obsessive drum patterns or in the pictorial use of guitars. What's interesting and intriguing is that this kind of No Wave does not sacrifice care on sou..."

"It's sad to see such a great artist pigeon holed. As a life long R.E.M. fan, seeing their stuff on MTV growing up, etc. This is better than Monster in my opinion. I feel it is the right level of pop, edge, and punk rock. I feel it is every bit their sound as any other album. This is why this band..." [+] Reply

"I really didn't like this at first. The music was great but Antony's voice made me cringe. Well, this album grew on me more with each listen. Follow-up: I have now also listened to I Am a Bird Now. All I can say is WOW!" Reply

"I think this album anticipates a lot of the ostentatiously produced folk music that would become super popular in the last chunk of the decade, which is pretty interesting considering just who it is we're talking about here. Now that I think of it, has indie rock/folk's roots ever been severed ve..." [+] Reply
