Like taking a walk through a harmonized malfunctioning compu

"At first listen, I was not impressed with this album. It seemed to me like Todd Fink and crew "dumbed down" the album after their amazing Wet From Birth. But over the weeks I kept finding myself listening to Fasciinatiion. It finally occurred to me that the album isn't dumbed down at all, if anything its much more technical. Gone are the sweeping string sections from Wet From Birth and in are catchy bleeps blips and bloops to keep dragging you in for more. One thing that makes The Faint so great is that are able to do so much with their music, while retaining their signature sound. This is definitely a new direction for the band, and it should be, as they parted from Saddle Creek and their old studio to branch out on their own with blank.wav records and a brand new home to record."

Absolutely horrible.

"I've been a fan of The Faint ever since the release of Media. I was rather disappointed with "Wet From Birth", but little did I know, that their next release would be pure garbage. I've boycotted this album amongst all of my friends, and giving it 1 star is giving it too much credit. THE FAINT ARE FINISHED."
