Adam.Oct 31, 2007It's a good album, but I heard it before when I listened to psychocandy. I think they painted themselves into a corner stylistically with this one, though.

KevinOct 26, 2007Like old Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine with a bit of industrial thrown into the mix.

LemmyK.Oct 26, 2007It's rock solid. The JAMC critical references are apt, indeed. Also, bring your Altec-Lansings or your Bose along. They don't use conventional sonic approaches and neither should you; leave your laptop speakers collect dust until the new, um, Big & Rich CD, please people.

Feb 27, 2012A Place To Bury Strangers' debut album is an interesting record. They play with a unique and distinct style. They mesh psychedelic rock with noise pop and it all comes together to sound pretty great. Each track has a sense of urgency to be listened too and it caught my attention right from the start of it. All In All, A Place To Bury Strangers is a great debut album. B+

It's a kick in the pants debut, and here's hoping they carve their own unique sound out even more in the future.

A Place to Bury Strangers is a record with excitement hardwired to its musical structure: the elements of these songs are so individually pleasing that, when the band shifts them against each other, the effect is a sense of constant cataclysmic upheaval. Each new variation is giddying.

A Place to Bury Strangers may not be easy for would-be record buyers to find--it's currently limited to 500 copies and put out by, um, Killer Pimp Records--but it's worth every effort.
