4.5 superb | iarescientists | December 14th 08 | These niggas got layers on layers on layers. I don't think its any coincidence Phil Spector's arrest and ...Burn, Piano Island, Burn's release occurred concurrently. The Blood Brothers took Spector's concepts to the next level of insanity, and he had to up the ante.

4.0 excellent | mikeg1992 | March 21st 12 | This is one of those very rare albums that pleases a lot of listeners that wouldn't normally poke post-hardcore with a ten-foot pole. It's absolutely wild and shocking at times, but when it's over you feel like you've experienced something truly original and enjoyable.

5.0 classic | Whatsgood | June 27th 12 | Catchy rhythmic dissonance, killer hardcore riff's, oddly melodic passages and one of the most original vocal duo's ever make Burn Piano Island, Burn a modern punk masterpiece. Mathy, catchy, noisy, melodic, what the Blood Brothers have on display is full of contradictions and disparate influences, but ultimately works to create a sound that might never be achieved again.

4.5 superb | killerK1 | September 22nd 16 | This album sounded really weird to me first few listens. But the more I listened to it, the more I loved it. Hard grower. Now it's one of my favorite PHC albums. Just fantastic song writing.

4.5 superb | Jared Floryan | August 4th 15 | ...Burn, Piano Island, Burn is one record that will give you a severe headache as early as the opening track "Guitarmy" - but soon enough, you'll come to the realization that this is a migraine worth having in spite of many protests. Post-hardcore band The Blood Brothers assault our eardrums with a collection of songs which can be best described as "organized chaos". The guitar playing stays brutal and discordant during most (if not all) of this album, but to say that Cody Votolato and fellow comrade Morgan Henderson are unskilled axemen would be ridiculous. The double vocal attack courtesy of Jordan Blilie and Johnny Whitney is arguably the strongest point of TBB's third full-length effort: some of the latter's high-pitched screams alongside his recognizable drawl sound tortured, but are in no way unlikeable, while Jordan's relatively lower voice is an excellent match for what Whitney's capable of. ...Burn, Piano Island, Burn throughout its 47-minute length is batshit crazy, and yet it manages to be a whole lot of fun as well. Ross Robinson's production job helps way more than it does hinder whatever replay value the album has; his reputation as the Godfather of nu-metal notwithstanding, the man's not at all a stranger to this sort of stuff, if the likes of famed outfit Glassjaw and the rather irrelevant From First to Last are anything to go by.
