An incomprehensibly great album. It's got semi-orchestral rock down better than anyone could ever dream. Lyrically, try and find a better song than the last track on this album.

It's just great. The songs are beautiful, strong, with wonderful arrangements... It's impossible not to like this. Buy it!

This album is phenomelajgag.wgr. love it.

excellent album

Absolutely brilliant...

Near Perfect A Masterpiece of this time

Nothing can compare to the unapologetic idiosyncratic rock of this album. Implacable and awesome.

One of the great rock albums of the 21st century, drowned in melody, fury, complexity, and subtlety. Trail of Dead's "White Album."

The only problem with this album is that at times the singing is too low and drowned-out by the instruments. Aside from that, it's great.

This album will go down as one of the top five albums of this decade, much like albums such as "OK Computer"

If you don't like the type of music these guys have made...after a couple listens you will. Nothing short of amazing.

Good, but not great, overrated for sure.

I don't know how anyone could give this less than 10, it is a truly bewildering album with an incredible level of consistency all the way through.

How can you say this album is "NOWHERE NEAR GOOD??" This was without a doubt one of the best albums last year. Period. Don't be naive and say "worst crap of all time" because this is NOWHERE NEAR CRAP. Excelent Album

Verrry Verrry Goood

Absolutely incredible album, furious, beautiful, anguished and resolutely triumphant.

Hi, this is the worst crap of all time.

great album. it holds together surpisingly well as an entire album rather than just a collection of songs. deftinitely better than i expected.

the intriquite melodies and broadness of this album makes me want to listen to it over and over, its just one of those very awesome albums that comes along only once in awhile

Worst band name ever.

Awsome, in the truest sense of the word. I have to play "How Near, How Far" 10 times in a row because it's so beautiful, it takes my brain on a plesure cruise around the world before i had notice i missed actually listening to it. And only the best music can do That to you!

This near flawless piece of rock glory may be proof that there is a God... and He's from Texas!!! (Who woulda' thought?) Explosive stuff that blows away almost any band you've heard on the radio in years. Even the interludes are lovely and memorable. And all this despite THE pretentious band name of the year. Only Godspeed You! Black Emperor can compete anymore.

Am i the only one out there disapointed by this album after their utterly flawless work of art "Madonna"? This album is quite boring and Emo but madonna rocked my socks off!

very very good

Brilliant! Everyone must hear this music and see this art work!

Great album but doesn't do justice to their live show.

title track, another morning stoner and it was there that i saw you are awesome. while i'll admit that some of the other songs lag, it makes up in great production and rhythm. great indeed.

Dense, intense, beautiful and complex are the main lines of this album. Though the tags and codes pattern could have been more subtile...

This is a really good album.. It's one of those albums that surprises you... it gets better every time you listen to it.

I picked this one up based on the decent reviews here and after enjoying the video for "Another Morning Stoner" on MTV2. Being new to the band, I did think it was a little noisy at first and can easily see why people might not get it. However after completely listening to the CD, all I wanted to do was play it over an over again. The songs really grow on you, track 5, "How Near How Far" is amazing, a very cool song! This CD is definitely worth a try, just give it a chance and you'll see.… Expand

anyone who cant give this album a 9 or 10 is obviously too busy being an uber-elitist to realize that TOD is going to destroy the music world as we know it and reshape it in its own image. its that simple.

hmmm... quite overrated. some of the songs work well but for the most part, it's just a mess. i really like the first two songs though.

This band is the real deal. This album proves it. It grabs you by the nuts and squeezes.

SHIT!!!

i give these guys a one based on thier looks. Thier CD kicks serious booty though, i suggest everyone to listen to track 2 on source tags & codes. this is defenantly going to be in my cd player for a long time.

Simply the best rock album since the early 90s. Anybody who disagrees is just trying to sound smart.

If you'd told me after listening to Radiohead's OK Computer that rock could get any better, I'd have shot you down with a tirelessly witty insult and walked away laughing mercilessly at your ignorance. Well, now I'm going to eat my hypothetical words. This album transcends.

Just mediocre. Might freak out a few kids that have never heard SY's Sister or Daydream Nation.

This is a scorcher. A great road album that prompts you to take the long way home. Harsh gritty music coupled with loud graceful melodies, creating an odd concoction which results in a peaceful wall of sound. They revel in this contradiction throughout the album, as lead singer belts out "let me hold you in my arms dear, and let me melt in the heat of your gaze", amid a flurry of raucous guitars. Each song is butted up against each other, giving the album a relentless appeal without wearing the listener out. Source Tags & Codes is somehow soothing, even though I find myself breaking out into random sweats as the album winds up and down.… Expand

Vastly overrated. Poor production values, hardly revolutionary. Not bad, but nowhere NEAR good

This band keeps getting better and better. This is a great album

Waited for it, bought it first day it came out, play it every day, stuck in my brain, every song laden with meaning, depth and vibrancy, fantastic art work cleverly related to each song - superb!!!

Revolutionary, powerful, dangerous, a breath of something new, rock-n-roll's last exhilarating lunge... or it's next great lunch.

this is the best album ive heard in ages

best ever dude

perfect rock album

Lovely
