    And incredible album and their best to date. Standout tracks include 'Columind', 'The Only Way', 'The Missing', and 'American Cliche'. Arguably the best hard rock album of the year!

    This album still holds up as the band's best work. God Damn Me should affect you. If it doesn't, you're dead.

    Sir Spite Ful doesn't know what he is talking about. Filter is not one of the bands that kids today rally behind and protest corporate America with. I can't even imagine what gave you that impression: maybe "Where Do Weo Go From Here?"'s video with all the kids? I don't know, but if you're gonna harsh know you're talking about first you idiot. Filter is a band that's maturing with age. There are still bizarre electronic pieces on the cd but songs like "Where Do We Go From Here", "The Missing", "God Damn Me", and "The Only Way (Is the Wrong Way) are worth is the price of the cd alone. "My Lonely Walk to Jail" along with the first half the cd will please older fans of Filter who enjoyed "Nice Shot Man" and "Welcome to the Fold". A great cd for long time fans and a great cd for newcomers, just look for new Filter, as they get better with every cd.… Expand

    The band is so hardcore their music is used to sell...HUMMER! Yes, that's right you rebel high school kids! That's Filter being used to sell $50-100,000 only-rich-need-apply SUVs! Good example for the kids, don't you think? Hey come work for rock and roll! We sell all the best products our fans could never afford! Selling out to Corporate America rocks & rules! Losers...

    This time, the heartfelt stuff sounds more sugary than before, while the hate vibes sound even more caustic. [Sep 2002, p.73]
  2. Q Magazine

    A robust blend of anthemic choruses and electro-tinged riffing, it will appeal to fans of Depeche Mode and Metallica alike. [July 2002, p.112]
  3. Rolling Stone

    Patrick and cohorts haven't left behind big, dumb obviousness. Thrashy, trashy tracks such as "Columind" still weigh the album down with anonymous groans and heard-'em-before riffs.
