Does everybody who ranked this album have a last name starting with G?

Liars' debut is aggressive, but still dancey. Personally I think this is the best album to come out of the New York "dancepunk" thing. By the way, roman k's posts that Liars were dead after pat and ron left the group was a slight miscalculation.
Jeremy G gave it an 8:
The rhythm section owns this album, the other two members are just renting time and space on it. Personally, I stop the last track when it gets to the loop. To those of you who think that I don't get the album because of this, I wish you a good time as you enjoy your 26 minutes of loopage.

all round genius! a totally inspirational adventure... if you dont get the last track then you don't deserve to listen to this album... ;)
roman k gave it a 6:
the first time i heard this album by the Liars, i was blown away wholly by the intensity, creativity, and passion of these montage of blistering 2 minute punchy songs. then, i got to the last track, "this dust makes that mud". suffice to say, it ruined my whole experience of it. the first couple of minutes is on par with the rest of the album, but then we come to a loop, repeating the same 5 secs. for 26 MINUTES (!!!). i listened for 10 minutes, wondered if this was going anywhere, then fast-forwarded and retired. please - 26 minutes of repition is not musical exploration or pushing any boundaries to me. now that the liars are as good as dead (with pat and ron gone), RIP Liars.
