| Bottom Line: My favorite album of 2009, without a doubt, and one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. Everything about this album is amazing, even the interlude. Maybe I like it so much because they're very very similar to my favorite band, The Faceless, and it makes it so much better that I am seeing them both next week. GET THIS ALBUM. |
