Album Rating: 1.5

This is pretty bad...and the mixing/mastering is abysmal. Sounds like garbage.

Album Rating: 4.0

What a coincidence that both first singles from 13th step and this album didn't catch my intention the first time I listened to it and I had to wait until the second single to really feel comfortable with the album

This could grow beyond a 4

How does an album cover like this even get approval? Did they all have a meeting and were like "Yeah, looks good."

Album Rating: 2.5

lmao





I mean, they probably all heard the album once after they wrote and recorded it high on acid like six years ago and they saw the album art their friend Dave made for them and they were like, 'fuck it, the album sucks anyway, let's press this bitch out'

Album Rating: 2.5

the one with just Howerdel makes him look like fucking Voldemort

finally, the new Tool album we've all been waiting for!

Album Rating: 2.0

This is just okay. I like this version of 'By and Down' a bit more than the previous version. Pretty easily the best track on the album... everything else is just meh aside from the cover, which sucks.

Album Rating: 3.5

was hoping for more highlights, TalkTalk is my favorite on this and The Contrarian hasn't clicked with me yet

Fish song is the best

Album Rating: 4.5

pretty subtle album, but it gets better every time I hear it.

Doctuses - this is more enjoyably terrible than Automata...but technically, yes, it is even worse

Album Rating: 4.5

WAOTY?

Album Rating: 1.0 | Sound Off

Not sure. Technically there are worse I guess - a few really pointless trap albums, plus Fall Out Boy, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Senses Fail, etc



For me WAOTY should come from something really mainstream and somewhat disappointing - the people involved have pedigree and I have previously enjoyed or at least respected some of their previous work to some degree



So the worst that fit that description would be this, the new Manics album, the new Machine Head, the Jack White.



This is probably the worst of those four so I’d be happy labelling it WAOTY

I'm afraid to honestly even give this a listen.

Album Rating: 1.0 | Sound Off

The average is going up so for some maybe it’s a grower, I’ve given it three listens now and I can see what people like but I’m not an APC fan to begin with, always thought at best they were Tool-lite/baby-Cure with JMK in peak mumbo jumbo mystic guff mode.



I have ‘Mer de Noms’ on a 2.5 so maybe take the difference between that rating and your rating and add that figure to my 1 rating of this to get your actual likely rating.

Album Rating: 4.5

Get the Lead Out is such a random closer

yeah I'll admit it's my least favorite song on this

Album Rating: 4.5

Agreed
