Love the nu-metal crunch on "Cosmonaut", whose intensity* singlehandedly keeps the back half of the album from dragging
* most overused descriptor w/r/t this band? with good reason, tho

One-Armed Scissor is gonna take this, obviously
Gonna decide between OAS, Mannequin Republic, Arcarsenal, at the very least...

This is an album I'm always happy to be reminded of the existence of. Are their first two worth a listen?

I rep for In/Casino/Out - Transatlantic Foe is probably my favorite song ever by them
I haven't listened to this in a long time, it got played a lot in our house during my 2nd year at university and I did get burned out on it eventually. 'Cosmonaut' was always my favourite track though.

Funnily enough, my enduring memory of this album was me taking it up to the register at Mondo Kim's on St. Marks Place and having the appalled cashier get into an actual rage ringing it up, like something out of a bad skit, going "these fucking poseurs are named after a lyric from a Poison song. You know, that, right? Fake ass Beastie Boys punk. Fuck these dress-up cartoons." (long pause) "That'll be $12.99." He was so angry.

I was really into ATDI in high school and still enjoy them on occasion. This is a great album, but Pattern Against User was a fairly easy choice for me; an In/Casino/Out poll would be much tougher.

tempted to get drunk and listen to this for the first time in maybe a decade

pity we couldn't get a few more votes in so that each song got some acknowledgement, but the results seem to reflect the flow of opinion from back in the day.

Invalid Litter Dept is an amazing song, it’s rage deserved and righteous.
