DoughB.Aug 7, 2008Sure its not their best album, but after a few listens all the electronic blurbs'll get stuck in your head.

SethAug 6, 2008If those reviewers hadn't been looking for a clear cut repeat of an older Faint album they might have seen how complex and beautiful this one is.

LanceKSep 20, 2008As a long time fan of the Faint, this is actually a brilliant album from a band that was on the verge of being forgotten. See them live, buy their record, support this band. I don't understand how people can criticize Fink for writing about "the future" and "software paranoia". When Radiohead does it, with even less direction or context, everyone raves.

MichelleMar 18, 2009How could anyone not give THE FAINT a 10!?!? no matter what music they make its a perfect TEN! Seriously anything less would be lie. Listening to the album and seeing them live you would understand.

DanAug 26, 2008There are a few songs where the lyrics/singing aren't quite up to par, but this is still a great album. Maybe not as good as "Danse Macabre" or "Wet From Birth", but really close. A few tracks really stand out - like "Machine In The Ghost", which is one of their best.

FilterDon't assume every song on Fasciinatiion is schizophrenic, navel-gazing "why-are-we-here-and-what-does-it-mean" tome. [Summer 2008, p.91]

Alternative PressWithout the extra bells and whisteles--which alwways saved the weakest Faint songs in the past--most of Faciinatiion is largely dispoable. [Sep 2008, p.160]

Under The RadarFor much of Fasciination, it’s the music that keeps the record afloat, because, even at his very best, singer Tim Fink doesn’t have much to say. [Summer 2008]
