    A masterwork that music fans will be listening to for some time in the future.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    90
    An album that is both abundant in depth and variety, as well as in terrifying walls of noise and gaping chasms of silence.
  3. Under The Radar

    To hear this album is to feel like things are falling down on you, and although that can be wearing after a while, there's not much to complain about. [#7]

    Comets On Fire is the greatest rock'n'roll band on earth! And Jaki is jus right, even if it's not him.

    I thought it was pretty wretched, but to each their own wretched things they like. Unforgivably generic and unappealing. I forgot it was even playing several times while listening. I hope we can still be friends.… Expand
