"Wow. Masterpiece. Flowed very smoothly, and there really weren't any tracks I disliked.I think this was better than Yoshimi, and definitely think this album has a spot in my top ten, if not my top 5 of all time. Great album, but it took me three listens to really absorb all of the beauty, and it ..." [+] Reply

"They stand at an interchange do the peppers, a junction where all forms of music meet. Sure there’s funk and punk, rap and metal. But there’s also surf and soul, grunge and blues. What makes them great is the ability to blend these sounds, to twist them into something that is always The chilli pe..." [+] Reply

"The last time I was this floored by an album on my first listen was when TPAB came out. MBDTF and TPAB were the only other albums to make me give a perfect score on first listen. I didn't think I would ever feel this feeling again, but Fishmans did it. This masterpiece is joining the crowd. What ..." [+] Reply

"This album was nearly as mind bending for me as Kid A the first time I heard it. I had never heard anything like it before. The perfect mix of excellent straightforward songs and brash experiments still resonates with me in a big way." Reply

"I've remarked elsewhere about my UAW bias, but how this album and PFNO aren't universally recognized as two of the greatest guitar rock albums of all time is so far beyond me. It has to be a conspiracy. I can still remember hearing Carry the Zero live the first time, long before the album was rel..." [+] Reply

"A masterpiece in its own regard, American Football by American Football passes the test of time as its sound still resonates with audiences scattered all throughout the rock genre (indie, emo, alternative, etc..) Truthfully one of the very best albums I have had the good fortune of listening too...." [+] Reply
