RickBMar 18, 2004Yeah, I agree with those who say it's too much, too dark, too whatever- but once you stop teeth-grinding and just listen, I think you'll find a fantastic album underneath.

johnfMar 14, 2004In ten years, we will all look back upon this album and realize that it is one of the finest acheivements of the early 21st century. All of the naysayers of today will be laughed at, and the few of us that recognize this album as groundbreaking will be grinning from ear to ear. This album falls into place among the likes of Kid A, among others. Splendid.

JeffWApr 30, 2004The best CD (and probably the only) to rip off the first This Heat album wholesale right down to the multitracked flat harmonies. You can always depend on Rolling Stone and Spin to be a reverse barometer on challenging music.

CarlWJun 22, 2004Although most people are pretty divided about this album, I guess I stand somewhere in the middle. It's impressive that they were able to make an album that inspired such strong, polarized reactions from people, but at the same time, they've basically made an update of PiL's "Flowers of Romance" in terms of the extent of their departure and the actual sound of the album.

AdamXMar 1, 2004Out of all the tracks only 3 stand up as songs that might actually stand up to their debut LP. They Were Wrong, is frequently abrasive and more than often just plain boring. I would recommend their debut to anyone, but if anybody wants a real sense of how this kind of disjointed, angry music I would point them in the direction of Einsturzende Neubauten, a clear influence on Liars new direction.

NickYJul 2, 2004Utterly unlistenable crap

An electronic-noise collage that sounds disturbingly rooted in the what-the-fuck? tradition of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music.
-
There’s nothing even remotely punk-funk here, instead conventional structures are stretched, shattered and re-assembled.

MojoNot quite magic but an impressive attempt at experimental spell-weaving. [Mar 2004, p.101]
