- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2025Great product great seller WOW I will definitely be ordering from you again and again thanks so much
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2011Great post-punk sound from a modern band. Very reminiscent of Jesus & Mary Chain, Flesh For Lulu, and especially Joy Division. Some songs even sound more like New Order just after Ian Curtis' death, where their sound was still very dark, but starting to get a bit more electronic and up tempo. Even though very gothic-like, PTBS keeps their sound up to date both lyrically and musically. Good listen from start to finish - great purchase for fans of the sound of the more obscure side of early 80's alternative rock.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2011great album. to be played loud and not for ambient cuddle time on the couch with loved ones or pets.
some say shoegazing but it's more post-punk in my ear....although i'm a huge shoe-gaze fan, but the tracks move a bit too quickly for shoe-gazing.
similar to Novelty, touches of hard-core (helmet or stanford prison experiment - if you listen hard enough).
i haven't seen them live, but i'd probably need earplugs and a flak jacket from what folks say.....
i'd want to protect my spleen from rupturing from the volume....
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2016Great album, if you like esham you will enjoy this.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2008That's what it says on their MySpace page and its a good description of their music. They sound like a mix of Joy Division, Jesus & Mary Chain and angry goth music, the kind people who wear black lipstick used to listen to. Really good stuff. "Breathe" and "I'll See You" are getting heavy play on my mp3 player right now. My only complaint is that much of it is so loud and distorted that I keep having to wonder if my speakers have some loose wiring or if my music player's output is too high.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2009in late '07, i was binging on anarcho punk and neo-folk and listening to my brainwashed video casts. the video for "i know i'll see you" pops up, and it becomes one of those moments where i just stop in my tracks and ask "what is this?" because what i'm hearing is /incredible/. i'm been accused of having 'narrow taste' when it comes to music and i completely agree; i'm extremely picky about what i listen to, so to be captivated by a band with a sound that is quite different from what i ordinarily listen to is a rare exception. i'll say outright i'm not a big fan of shoegaze- i think most of its boring with the exception of the noisy guitars; aptbs is more than just shoegaze. yes, they mutter their lyrics and the guitars are noisy, but they're noisier (if you could imagine) than any shoegaze i've encountered and their riffs are distinct and interesting rather than mindless, the drum machine is a neat touch that pulls the band into the 21st century and lets not forget the basslines which has this huge 80's feel (well the whole band is pretty reminiscent of the 80's)- a touch of surf rock and punk is also detected, but in whole aptbs is their own entity.
since, a place to bury strangers has become one of my favorite bands and this album is recommended to just about anyone who listens to a substantial amount of 80's music, or just anyone who likes good music. the s/t is a good testament to what they offer live (with the exception of the strobelights which cannot currently be captured on the cd) and has me eager for their next release. :) buy this album, see them live- what do you have to lose?
- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2008To all the babies who pine for the Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine to reunite, I have one thing to say: move on. How can you whine when terrific artists such as Autolux, Liars and Voyager One exist? Now A Place to Bury Strangers, one of the purer, more nostalgic shoegaze outfits, competently picks up the discarded fuzzy, spaced-out, heavy pieces shattered by your heroes. The band cover its already gritty tinny-to-shrieking guitars, picked bass, post-punk-rhythm-spewing drum machines and reverb-soaked vocals with even more grit, volume (!) and otherwise raw production. The harmonies and solos are frugal yet meaningful, and the lyrics mysterious and hard to hear: in other words, it's the ultimate homage to the aforementioned legends. Unoriginality is rarely a pleasant compliment, but only because it never sounded this perfect!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2017If you're a fan of their other albums and their unique sound, then you'll love this album too. Still regretting not seeing their show recently in Knoxville. :'(

4.0 out of 5 stars APTBS = Noisy Pop+Pop Punk+Joy Division + SON UNIQUE de OUF
C'est surtout en live que les APTBs donnent leur pleine mesure et que le spectateur en devient presque acteur du concert au milieu de la puissance sonore inimaginable déluge surpuissant enveloppant ultra profond et clair juste approchable sur disque les bons morceaux sont là mais sans l experience sonore ultime du live vous n aurez pas connu ce que nous avons vécu au concert, Oubliez toutes les références connues jusque là. Au diable tous les mecs qui jouent tout à fond et qui te tuent les oreilles. Là on est dans un autre monde. Pourquoi ? Et bien Mister Oliver Ackerman fabriquent lui-même ses appareils (ampli et pédales et raccord et cable etc...) et cela donne quelque chose de bien meilleur que tout ce qu'on a entendu avant en terme de qualité sonore en concert. ça vous transperce de part en part et transporte grave et en plus ça envoi fort en power trio. Tout les instruments sont retravaillé par des boitiers conçu par Oliver pour nous faire vivre un moment exceptionnel mieux que toutes les drogues existantes. Après le premier live, je n'ai eu qu'une envie : c'est vite un autre concert, et si j'avais pu je les aurai suivi en tournée pour revivre ça chaque soir ou presque. Jamais trouvé plus addictif en live.
