  1. Drowned In Sound
    100
    It's the (insert made-up genre here, including the word 'progressive' and/or suffix '-core') album of the year.
  2. Playlouder
    90
    Giant mutant rats are running about the place with gasmasks and guns. Their eyeballs are electric red, firing lightning bolts of acid, spit and shit and blowing up the place and the furniture.
  3. Village Voice
    40
    The last 10 or so minutes of the CD veer between bursts of riff noise more smoothly recorded than expected and washes of music to watch soft porn by, indicating the charm of being proudly abrasive and busy is wearing off.
