    Been a BIG fan since The Big Dirty... I just.... don't understand the hype for this album compared to their others? New Junk, Gutter Phenomenon and BD are all better all round packages. I think they have catchier hooks, are more recognisable and have more staying power...

    This album is faster (in tempo AND in that it lasts for just 30 or so minutes... that's enough time for you to make love to your mum and catch the last couple of chords), thrashy, a little bit more obvious on the riffery and ever so slightly messy round the edges. Which is both a gift and an anchor that leaves it dragging me back to the unavoidable theory that... their previous albums are just a little bit better.

    They are a **** brutal live band though, go check them out if you haven't already. Their energy and deliverance is on par.

    Conclusion: They're still one of my Top 10 favourites, but this album isn't worth the hype.    … Expand

    Change is what led them to write the album they needed to, and in turn, left us listeners with the album we needed to hear. Change reminds us that we didn’t know Every Time I Die like we thought we did--but they sure read us to a tee with From Parts Unknown.
