Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

At the vanguard of hardcore’s evolution stand five Long Island-born straight-edgers who sport a progressive approach to punk rock on this fantastic second album. Frontman Daryl Palumbo's lyrically adventurous songs ("The Gillette Cavalcade of Sports," "Trailer Park Jesus") wage war on cultural orthodoxy, his rocky, undulating vocals morphing between a raw-nerve croon and a tortured shriek that's sharp enough to cut glass. The band differ from their nu-metal and conventional hardcore peers in the arrangements: tracks like "Mu Empire" and "Cosmopolitan Bloodloss" combine Faith No More-style sweep with a complex, post-hardcore structure that puts Fugazi to shame. "Ape Dos Mil" reins in the pure noise as guitarists Justin Beck and Todd Weinstock turn down and wring shimmering walls of ambience out of their instruments and Palumbo weaves a tale of obsessive love. Glassjaw are a thoroughly uncompromising band, as fearlessly individualistic as At the Drive-In and every bit as good. Worship and Tribute presents the new hardcore heroes-in-waiting. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars Worship and Tribute! Go GlassJaw, March 23, 2004

By	"fortnight6" (Victoria, Australia) - See all my reviews

Yeah! This album is supurb! I bought both GlassJaw albums together, so at first I didn't really like this album that much, cause GlassJaws Debut Album EYEWTKAS grabbed me by the nuts and didn't let go! After a little time I gave this Album a good listen and discovered the true meaning of life! Oh yeah, It's terrific. If only the song El Mark were on this Album! It really should be! It probably was going to be but they couldn't finish it in time or something?

Heres a shot run down and score of each song!

1) Tip You Bartender - 10/10
I love this song. Perfect opener! It's right up my alley! Simple but real cool. The verse is crazy and wild. Then comes the chorus, after a few times your hooked. The chorus is huge sounding, yet quite simple. I adore that chorus.

2) Mu Empire - 9/10
This song has probably the most stunning moment I ever heard in a song! Where he sings "Ah, I Do, I Do!!" Gold, I love it! Verse is very good. Only the riff in the intro is a tad messy! But still cool! Also very well arranged song in my opinion!

3) Cosmopolitan Bloodloss - 9/10
One of the singles to this album! If only the chorus " After all, After all," were a little less annoying this would be my favorite song! The verses are so cool, and the bridge section is really good too.

4) Apes Dos Mil - 8.5/10
Another single. This song is a real chick pleaser. Girls love it! I like the verse a lot. However I it's a bit art-ty for me, I was never really into these sorta songs, but I do like this song!

5) Pink Roses - 9/10
Pretty crappy verse, but all is forgiven when the chorus kicks in! Astonishing. I love that chorus. First time I heard it I was addicted! Perfect!

6) Must've Run all Day - 8.5/10
Similar style to Apes Dos Mil. I like the music in this song better though. Pretty intro guitars. Intro vocals are a bit piercing. "If it makes you." Otherwise a very pretty song. I know this and Apes Dos Mil are a lotta peoples favorites and thats cool, but this slow sorta music isn't really my scene.

7) Stuck Pig - 6/10
My least listened too song on this album. Pretty messy song. I don't dislike messy music, but this is definately the worst song on the album. The chorus is cool though when the whole band thumps together. I like his voice here.

8) Radio Cambodia - 10/10
Only fast song on the album. Thats why I thought El Mark should have been on this album too. I don't like punk that much but this song rocks! GlassJaw are great at fast/punk tunes. This is one of my favoritre songs on the record!

9) The Gillette Calvacade of Sports - 10/10
Amazing! Epic song. Genius, Great, Grand! I love this song! Best guitar I have heard in ages in this song! The chorus is awesome "This isn't where, This isn't where I found you." The middle section is real funny and very flashy! "That was a good one Bob," You gotta listen to this one all the way!

10)Trailor Park Jesus - 8/10
Not usually my style, but I really do like this song! I got a soft spot for the intro verse he sings! I don't know why? I guess it's just fun to sing along too. The chorus is a bit annoying though. So yeah!

11)Two Tabs of Mescaline - 10/10
Awesome end to and awesome album. Most people love this song after getting used to it! Intro guitars annoy me a bit. Otherwise a marvellous song! Check this one out! It has so much in it! Innovative vocals, Awesome arrangements! There is no band that sound or come close to this song! A Good song to check out first, if you've never heard GlassJaw! Listen to the whole song though. You gotta.

In the End of the day this album is probably the better of the two GlassJaw albums. But only marginally. There first one has some of the finer moments and is pure chaos and wildness. But this one is a slightly more mature album for GlassJaw.

I give Worship and Tribute - 99/100. (only cause I think its missing a song!)

I give Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence - 98/100.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alterna-Metal ExtraOrdinaires!, January 24, 2006

By	SLIMMORTAL (Salisbury, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This album kills their last. This one is way more raw, loud and noisy. But also more melodic. They have managed to flesh out their sound and experiment enough to stand out from the rest of SCREAMO. More inspired than most, Glassjaw have an energy; a creative edge consisting of both brains and brauns. And the lead singer,...that mug can scream! They have made their mark in hardcore - with this album, they are well on their way to joining the ranks of alterna-metal pioneers/revolutionaries/extraordinaires such as Deftones, Hum, Tool... i know thats saying alot. But this album drips with ingenuity, art, and uncompromised sound - quenching my thirsty ears.
GlassJaw continue to push the envelope...Can't wait for the next 1.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not As Angry As EYEWTKAS, But A Little More Melodic, April 1, 2005

By	Mono-Grind "dtb" (Here) - See all my reviews

This Album should get people, who refused to accept that Glassjaw had talent and said that their previous Album "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence" was below average, to sit up and take notice. Glassjaw are heading for a new direction with this release. And it's definitely a natural direction.

Vocalist Darryl Palumbo is very underrated. He's a highly talented singer who just seems to get better on this Album. The tunes on this Album range from heavy-angry to melodic quickly, sometimes in the same song. "EYEWTKAS" had much the same feel to it, but i think personally, that on this Album..Glassjaw have perfected their sound. It sounds newer, and more defined.

The highlights on this Album would be "Tip Your Bartender", "Mu Empire", "Cosmopolitan Bloodloss", "Ape Dos Mil", "Pink Roses", "Must Have Run All Day", "Radio Cambodia", "Cavalcade" and "Two Tabs of Mescaline". Every song has it's own catchy-ness, and is totally listenable.

Darryl Palumbo's voice is unbelievable, especially, on tracks like "Ape Dos Mil", "Pink Roses" and "Must Have Run All Day". Those 3 tracks in particular, are very melodic and they also set the mood somewhat for the whole Album. This Album, i think, is a huge turnaround really from what they sounded like on "EYEWTKAS". Most of the songs have the same heaviness to them, and the same catchy-ness..But there's just something about this Album..It's AS good as "EYEWTKAS", if not better in some parts, and i truly believe that people who disliked their debut Album will enjoy this Album alot more.

I think Glassjaw deserve alot more praise than they seem to be getting. They mix up Hardcore/Emo/Punk/Metal, and turn it into something very special. Darryl Palumbo is as talented as Mike Patton. The lyrics are unique, and somewhat poetic. Glassjaw are just a top-quality band, that if you do like any of the Hardcore/Emo/Punk/Metal genres, you will surely enjoy them. I give this Album an easy 5/5. It's just that good.
