ChrisF-TMay 12, 2006I love Matmos' work and live show, and this album still blew me away. Awesome samples, awesome art, great electronics and spectacular tunes. It's hard for me to stop listening because the songs are infectious and intriguing.

nikolaMay 16, 2006apsolutely great, the sound of violence that makes all other electronic artist look like amateurs. not their best, 'cause "civil war" are the untouchable, but "the rose has teeth..." is one of my favourites for album of the year

MaryHJul 4, 2006Extraordinary concept album-- well beyond my already-high expectations. Plus, the album art is to die for.

PaulH.May 12, 2006I like how Prefix calls this "unfriendly and alienating" as if A Chance To Cut Is A Chance To Cure was easy listening. Another brilliant warped bit of experimental mastery from Matmos. Too bad more music isn't this bold.

With The Rose... Matmos have created a work that fuses music and concept art, and doesn't sound like a terrible pretentious mess. It's an achievement that deserves your attention.
-
Even if it's not as cohesive as their two previous albums, it's some of their best (and certainly most ambitious) work.

As with the conceptual aspect, knowing the peculiar provenance of the noises on The Rose Has Teeth is actually supplemental to one's enjoyment of this suite... which stands alone as an enthralling aural experience.
