  1. No Ripcord

    All told, The Faint, once again, have written a succesful album.
  2. Pitchfork
    60
    The Faint are sounding way out of their depth on the Important Concepts front, while seeming perfectly at home on material about relationship-muck.
  3. The Boston Phoenix
    37
    The lyrics are nonsense about grotesque surgeries and a futuristic interface of man and machine; they're sung with a weariness that suggests that even the singer is fatigued with this kind of thing.
