The tracks on Steal come off as much more assured and comfortable than those on Toxicity. [Jan 2003, p.81]
-
90This could be one of the most important records of the year.
-
Many of ''Album's'' tunes work as vibrant stand-alone compositions, which not only makes this an impressive disc but also makes ''Toxicity'' seem all the more masterful: Even the rejects sound pretty damn great.
-
83As leftovers go, this Album is refreshingly tasty.
-
80System's repeated willingness to make so much noise in the service of getting nowhere reveals an enduring idealism. [Feb 2003, p.96]
-
80Steal This Album is still not the perfect SOAD album, but it's by far their most realized yet.
-
The singer's curious persona is mirrored by the musical pyrotechnics, Queen meets Rage Against The Machine in a metal production of Godspell!, an inventiveness and fury that makes their MTV contemporaries look as dynamic as lard models of Linkin Park.
-
70Whatever it lacks in cohesive identity it more than makes up for in chaotic invention. [Feb 2003, p.107]
-
70A relevant addition to System's catalog.
-
70It only further proves how good a band this is, and despite a few tepid moments, it hints at even more greatness on the horizon.
-
Few bands are better equipped to release an odds-and-sods record such as Steal This Album!, because SOAD songs already seem like bits and pieces of different songs welded and held together through sheer force of will.
-
50What's most impressive is that music of this caliber got left off their albums. [#13, p.100]
