Impossible not to like

ByB. JJ Buckleyon August 16, 2004

I neither know nor care who the founding members are, what their post-hardcore credentials are, or who they've slept with. I'm not going to draw obscure comparisons with other bands who share cousins with the musicians. I heard this album by accident, and was instantly hooked. It's about the catchiest, smartest music I've heard in a long time; vaguely emotional, half tongue-in-cheek, but unbelievably... likeable. Consistent, too - there isn't a single filler, and each song is the most charming on a different day. It reminds me of about 10 bands that I've loved through the years... but can't put my finger on which ones. This album is an absolute gem, and nobody who likes guitars in their music would ever regret buying it.

Killer Good!

ByJ. Slobotskion April 3, 2008

Steve Pedersen & Criteria are the best thing since sliced bread! What a crazy good combination of music & lyrics...

Looking forward to the next release and should really check these guys out---they're from Omaha, the hotbed of music these days---they gotta' be good to be from NE!

I wish i could give it 4.5 stars - Buy this album.

ByNE Criteria Fanon July 11, 2003

Wow, Stephen Pedersen has done it. I love this album. I just bought it tonight and can't stop listening. Seriously Stephen, if you're reading this, excellent job. I'm rambling. I'll stop. Awsome.

excellent.

ByA customeron January 3, 2004

A breath of fresh air. Steven Pederson has once again shown us where this whole "post hardcore" genre is supposed to sound like. Gutiar hooks whose barbs turn in and don't let go, and a lyrical aptitude that is unheard of for rock of this type make this an album of the year. This is the album that you can listen to 4-5 times in a row and not grow weary of.
All you half-witted, emo dorks need to take a page out of Steven's book. Its pure rock perfection.

Definitely a must buy if you are looking for a solid album to listen to from beginning to end. Solid performance and great song writing add to the brillance. A must buy.

All around great albulm

Byeric mo daddyon August 7, 2003

Criteria en Garde is good good music. It has deep/sappy/dark lyrics that I love and great music to back it. The lead singer sounded odd to me at first but it soon grew on me . only song I dont like is number 5 when he starts screamin "ROCK ROCK RECORD". He definately can't scream but he can sing.

Best CD in Years!

ByJeremy Edwardson October 15, 2003

At the Drive In, used to be my favorite band, then came The White Octave, and They broke up. Just when I thought all hope for music had been lost, Stephen Pedersen Starts "Criteria" which is TOTALLY RAD! Thanks for this wonderful album and this amazing group!GET THIS CD NOW!
