"This album is amazingly good considering that it's the band's first since 1997! Mike Patton of course has been a whirlwind of creative energy since then. I'm not sure what the others have been doing, but they sound tight. Clearly they have meshed again since reuniting and touring in 2009 and since. FNM continues to viciously rip into American society, feral in an elegant way (like Warren Zevon's werewolf of London -- "his hair was perfect"), featuring piano on several tracks." - Some dude on Amazon
