"It's very difficult for me to break apart albums such as this one because nu-metal is not a genre that I'm familiar with. I find it hard to decipher between the songs that I'm hearing as being thorough and strongly executed ideas and what is filler/what are the weaker tracks. But I think this alb..." [+] Reply

"Been binging on this album for a few days, and it's becoming quite the love fest. I used to dislike his vocal delivery, but it's really grown on me, plus his lyrics are some of the best. And the music is splendid." Reply

"Predetermined prejudice if I've ever seen it. Average track rating: 86 Average album rating: 79 Stop blindly hating on this music and actually develop a REAL opinion on it for once. This has been happening far too often to albums that definitely deserve better than this." Reply

"A landmark album for my change in taste of music, and for that maybe it gets more credit in my book. I hate comparing anyone to anyone, but I like to think of Phoenix as what Of Montreal would sound like if they actually sounded good. Following It's Never Been Like That, this album shows how Phoe..." [+] Reply

"Love the energy in this one compared to Boxer, which is slightly more poppy or High Violet which is a little more dreary (in a good way). This album has a more direct sound, more anger. I love it when Berninger screams the lyrics like in Abel and Mr. November, similar to the Pixies - has the same..." [+] Reply

"These guys are crazy awesome. The way Omar Rodríguez-López writes and thinks is very reminiscent of Robert Fripp/King Crimson, but the music comes at you full force like Bad Brains or Fugazi.

"These days, Interpol are a three-piece unit. This is a reality that tends to correlate to their recent dip in critical applause. Their latest two records, El Pintor and Marauder, both feature the absence of longtime bassist Carlos Dengler. Dengler had departed Interpol due to dissension between h..." [+] Reply
