MattKMay 30, 2007This album, although unique, sounds like garbage - too many noises all at once. I just listened to it and I never want to listen to it again, hence the rating of 1. I gave it a point for being unique, but other than that it has nothing going for it.

JeremyMay 2, 2007Load of shizzz. It's an annoying clump of noise. The only reason I gave it a two instead of a 0 is because I like the artistic vision they have. And the structure is okay. They just have such an immense load of work to do. There's too much going on, basically.

PaulCJul 11, 2007This album sounds like what would happen if you played three Bowie albums at once. I can't take much of it without wanting to make ch-ch-ch-changes to an album that is actually good.

Under The RadarThis album sees Frog Eyes as a band fully realized. [#17, p.85]

Tears of the Valedictorian is an incredibly dense record and may take several passes before you can even begin to peel away its layers. That sense of rigor, though, is what makes it so arresting.

Before, the most crazed cacophony could impossibly capitulate into swooning grandeur, but now that disparity just isn’t so striking. The dynamic is still in play, but with the edges rounded off, any tension is diminished.
