From 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

Chronique amazon.fr
Le précédent Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence était prometteur ; Worship & Tribute exacerbe toutes les qualités que l'on avait pu y déceler, dans tous les registres. D'abord celui de la maturité, qui se traduit par des paroles moins nombrilistes sinon plus universalistes ; ensuite, celui de la musique. Et c'est là que la surprise est totale. Les changements de tempo d'un morceau à l'autre passent sans anicroche. Le metal furieux de "Cosmopolitan Blood Loss" trouve un écho idéal dans une étonnante ballade comme "Cavalcade". Que l'amateur se rassure toutefois : cet album n'offre que très peu de temps morts. L'énergie, entre punk et hardcore, ne fait jamais défaut à Daryl Palumbo et aux siens. --Hervé Comte
