Now You Are One Of Us - The Paper Chase
Now You Are One Of Us Image
  • Summary: The experimental Dallas, Texas outfit led by John Congleton returns with a spooky, noisy fourth album.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 9 out of 10
  2. Negative: 0 out of 10
  1. Operatic in scope, ruthlessly ambitious in its range, The Paper Chase have dropped one the most unique and substantive records of the year.
  2. It's a passionate and at times painful aural experience as a whole, but it's one that has to be taken from start to finish.
  3. I admire the band's unorthodox approach to its music and its combination of disparate rock and non-rock elements.... That said, I will probably never be able to listen to this entire album in a single sitting.

    Everything inside the album, the album cover, song titles, and music itself, is incredibly creepy, yet it's marvelous. I have to hear other "paper chase" album now!!! Expand

    The Paper Chase seem to recycle the same stuff over and over. Except now, the music doesn't sound as fresh and exciting as hide the kitchen knives. A disappointment, the band refuses to evolve every release sounds the same. Expand
