| Glassjaw Worship and Tribute Ranked
At this moment, my favorite album. Really good stuff. Its hard to really attribute Glassjaw to a scene - on one hand they sound very much like Deftones/Incubus-style nu-metal, or Fall of Troy style emo, or even technical metalcore like Cave In. Worship and Tribute is notably on the softer side of things, similar to what Deftones did with White Pony and Saturday Night Wrist. Songs feature plenty of guitar interplay, massive riffs, and extreme dynamics. I also have to commend the producer for mixing every instrument perfectly (that means loud drums and bass).
Favorite and least favorite song were kind of easy... the rest was basically impossible. I love every song thoroughly.
Also no Convectuoso, makes my job that much harder. | | 1 | Glassjaw
Two Tabs of Mescaline
Yeah one of the greatest songs ever written. That's it. 5.5/5 | | 2 | Ape Dos Mil
Was never a huge fan of this song - now I consider it one of GJ's best. Simple stuttering melody, a fantastic song progression into like 3 different melodic breakdowns - very good. 5/5 | | 3 | Radio Cambodia
Energy is off the charts. The guitar interplay is fantastic, as is the weird-ass key change kind of thing for the last chorus. 5/5 | | 4 | Stuck Pig
Weird, right? I just really like the aggression and colossal riffs on this song. Sounds kind of like RATM, but if the singer was gay and retarded instead of a rapper. 5/5 | | 5 | The Gillette Cavalcade of Sports
The song that got me into Glassjaw. Only flaw is the rapping-ish part... everything else is wonderful. | | 6 | Mu Empire
As with many Glassjaw songs, Mu Empire transitions between thrashing Drop D metalcore chugging, autistic whining, and a harmonically rich chorus. All of this makes for a very good song. 5/5 | | 7 | Trailer Park Jesus
The obvious peak of this song is the massive chorus. 5/5 | | 8 | Pink Roses
Was my favorite off of the record for a while, especially with the cool shoegazey-metal chorus. It's just so short that I ended up listening to it about 10 times a day! 4/5 | | 9 | Tip Your Bartender
IK putting this song so low is probably sacrilege, but I've heard "Bartender" so many times that I skip it a lot now. (That shows how good of a song it is, I guess). 4/5 | | 10 | Must've Run All Day
The least interesting 'soft song' on the album. The outro is spectacular though. 4/5 | | 11 | Cosmopolitan Bloodloss
I mean it's still pretty good... but whatever. Sounds like an Incubus or 311 song or something. 3/5 | |

05.04.17 | agree with 1, the rest...not so much
| Ichangedmynametojeff
05.04.17 | Like I said I literally have no idea how I would rank this album. Last time I tried I put ADM and Pink Roses at the bottom...
The one weird thing is probably Radio Cambodia. I just really love the song it reminds me of ATDI. | StallionMang
05.04.17 | 2 and 3 would b way lower in my book
gillette cavalcade is probs 1 but hard to argue w two tabs | Muppelope
05.04.17 | but if the singer was gay and retarded instead of a rapper. 5/5 | Muppelope
05.04.17 | Must've Run All Day would be higher for me, but yeah, this is a nigh impossible album to rank. | cylinder
05.04.17 | stuck pig is easily the worst, having that song above 5, 6, 7, 10 and 11 is laughable
also, they're a post-hardcore band. not that hard | unclereich
05.04.17 | best album agreed but this rating is not so good | Avagantamos
05.04.17 | good to see 1 where it is. kinda weird though cause I've never heard of mescaline coming on tabs | hobblepot
05.04.17 | delet this | onionbubs
05.04.17 | 1 is right. rest is veeeery different but mine but idk how id rank most of this since the majority of songs are equally good | ashcrash9
05.04.17 | album is impossible to rank | UnderTheNorthernScar
05.05.17 | You're damn right having tip your bartender that low is sacrilege.. That's their only perfect song | Tyler.
05.05.17 | Stuck pig rocks. Daryl is fuckin crazy | unclereich
05.05.17 | Only perfect song? Wtf | Tyler.
05.05.17 | I didn't read the descriptions until now. Lmaoa | TomorrowIsTuesday
05.05.17 | "If the singer was gay and retarded" that just about sums up my feelings about it this band. Ape dos mil would be really tight without him | MillionDead
05.05.17 | "Gay and retarded" huh... I always thought the vocals on Stuck Pig were pretty brutal. Could do without the soft section though. | hobblepot
06.27.17 | when people make lists like this it makes me nervous |
