    The polemics are occasionally clumsy, but the band's gloriously over-the-top heaviosity still makes this a fine addition to the SOAD canon. [8 Aug 2008, p.68]

    Scars on Broadway offers up the tastiest smorgasbord of bite-sized pop-metal delicacies since the last time Cheap Trick recorded a Queens of the Stone Age tribute album.

    Malakian's Scars On Braodway further explore his love of machine gun guitars, bongs for breakfast, scatological lyrics and permeating sense of paranoia. [Sep 2008, p.108]

    I have all the SOAD albums. This album is not them ... it's better! Just listen to it a few times before passing judgment. Best album of the year by far.… Expand

    Pretty disappointing. I wasn't expecting another SOAD record, but this was a bit too 'alt' rock' for my likings.
