Mary H gave it a9:
Extraordinary concept album-- well beyond my already-high expectations. Plus, the album art is to die for.
marco s gave it a5:
Weak and boring.
Dave A gave it a0:
Time for these guys to put their foot in their mouth.
nikola gave it a9:
apsolutely great, the sound of violence that makes all other electronic artist look like amateurs. not their best, 'cause "civil war" are the untouchable, but "the rose has teeth..." is one of my favourites for album of the year
Paul H. gave it a9:
I like how Prefix calls this "unfriendly and alienating" as if A Chance To Cut Is A Chance To Cure was easy listening. Another brilliant warped bit of experimental mastery from Matmos. Too bad more music isn't this bold.
Chris F-T gave it a10:
I love Matmos' work and live show, and this album still blew me away. Awesome samples, awesome art, great electronics and spectacular tunes. It's hard for me to stop listening because the songs are infectious and intriguing.
