NickSep 12, 2006This is actually pretty weak as far as noise goes in my opinion. I just don't like the textures they bring to the table. I would recommend Prurient, Mouthus, Double Leopards or Birchville Cat Motel. Wolf Eyes aren't that great. I don't know what the deal is.

ScissorShockMar 4, 2005Really good. In a lot of ways, life-changing. My advice is to just put on headphones, turn this up, and soak up the sound.

BogusBoyBarlowFeb 24, 2005What an effluvial pile of crap! This is not art, it is not music, it is what a monkey could create with his or her two hands on a minimoog and its posterior resting upon a fader. Utter drivel and not worth the time to even sample.

JohnFDec 31, 2004"Burned Mind" is the best Ja Rule/Snow Patrol mash-up you've never heard. Period.

sctaskNov 26, 2004Oh people - people PLEASE!! To think there are legions swarming around albums as capable of recreation as 'The Arcade Fire' [Funeral] or any twangy leather jacket & 3 guitarists from the NYC (both examples such the 180 from Wolf Eyes!) means you are missing the point. Wolf Eyes is the ANTI- in rock music. See.

FrankBOct 25, 2004The emperor has no clothes. All this band does is make noise. Any kid with a synthesizer can do this.

jaredhOct 24, 2004This album is for the ages. A noise masterpiece. In a post-apocalyptic world, this is pop music. Like Sonic Youth's first masterpiece, Evol, Burned Mind blends fun with noise. Except here the fun is found in the rhythms and loud-as-hell dynamic, not in pop hooks. Certainly not in pop hooks. Most definitely not in pop hooks. But who needs pop hooks?

The WireA genuine sense of danger and trepidation stalks through these tracks. [#249, p.63]

Every track is a pure battle, with searing bursts of abrasion chopping at lava flows of insane density.

Take[s] their haunted-house shtick to frightening extremes.
