  1. 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]
  2. 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.
  3. 60
    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.
