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

- Not As Angry As EYEWTKAS, But A Little More Melodic

This Album should get people, who refused to accept that Glassjaw had talent and said that their previous Album "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence" was below average, to sit up and take notice. Glassjaw are heading for a new direction with this release. And it's definitely a natural direction.

Vocalist Darryl Palumbo is very underrated. He's a highly talented singer who just seems to get better on this Album. The tunes on this Album range from heavy-angry to melodic quickly, sometimes in the same song. "EYEWTKAS" had much the same feel to it, but i think personally, that on this Album..Glassjaw have perfected their sound. It sounds newer, and more defined.

The highlights on this Album would be "Tip Your Bartender", "Mu Empire", "Cosmopolitan Bloodloss", "Ape Dos Mil", "Pink Roses", "Must Have Run All Day", "Radio Cambodia", "Cavalcade" and "Two Tabs of Mescaline". Every song has it's own catchy-ness, and is totally listenable.

Darryl Palumbo's voice is unbelievable, especially, on tracks like "Ape Dos Mil", "Pink Roses" and "Must Have Run All Day". Those 3 tracks in particular, are very melodic and they also set the mood somewhat for the whole Album. This Album, i think, is a huge turnaround really from what they sounded like on "EYEWTKAS". Most of the songs have the same heaviness to them, and the same catchy-ness..But there's just something about this Album..It's AS good as "EYEWTKAS", if not better in some parts, and i truly believe that people who disliked their debut Album will enjoy this Album alot more.

I think Glassjaw deserve alot more praise than they seem to be getting. They mix up Hardcore/Emo/Punk/Metal, and turn it into something very special. Darryl Palumbo is as talented as Mike Patton. The lyrics are unique, and somewhat poetic. Glassjaw are just a top-quality band, that if you do like any of the Hardcore/Emo/Punk/Metal genres, you will surely enjoy them. I give this Album an easy 5/5. It's just that good.

- Alterna-Metal ExtraOrdinaires!

This album kills their last. This one is way more raw, loud and noisy. But also more melodic. They have managed to flesh out their sound and experiment enough to stand out from the rest of SCREAMO. More inspired than most, Glassjaw have an energy; a creative edge consisting of both brains and brauns. And the lead singer,...that mug can scream! They have made their mark in hardcore - with this album, they are well on their way to joining the ranks of alterna-metal pioneers/revolutionaries/extraordinaires such as Deftones, Hum, Tool... i know thats saying alot. But this album drips with ingenuity, art, and uncompromised sound - quenching my thirsty ears.

GlassJaw continue to push the envelope...Can't wait for the next 1.

- Top Notch

Forget about all other Glassjaw albums for the moment; THIS album is their zenith. I discovered this album, and band for that matter, at a time when I was having "scene" crammed down my throat. This album was my messiah from the music that was surrounding it at the time, and probably even more so now. This band reassured me on this album that melody and brute could be combined, and feeling could be expressed in rock music without having to fit into tight pants to do so. Worship and Tribute does a great job of lightly grazing trends yet still doing business on its own terms. Palumbo is iconoclastic with tight vocal melodies and lyrics that imply a dark sense of humor. The guitarists work off of each other creating harmonies that seem avant-garde in this era of rock while being anchored by smooth basslines that fit right in the pocket the drummer creates. Not to mention that the double-bass effect created by the single-pedal wielding drummer on "mu empire" is simplistically genius. I also once heard this album was tracked all at once by the band the way it would have been done back in the day, which i think is impressive. On the general rock side of things, Worship and Tribute is one of my all time favorites.

- Simply the best album ever.

I've been a fan of glassJAw for years.

And I've literally watched their sound progress.

I've read a lot of customer reviews and a lot of them are bashing glassJAw saying "glassJAw isn't tough anymore."

I've listened to Worship and Tribute everyday since its release.

Now when I listen to EYETKAS, it isn't what glassJAw is today!

The music on W/T is simply amazing.

Every track on this album has it's own mood.

And it's an album I could listen to on repeat.

Worship and Tribute was 2002's greatest album.

I cannot wait to see what glassJAw pumps out next.

PS- Head Automatica is lead by Daryl Palumbo.

Go out and buy their Debut album "Decadance"

- Glassjaw explodes

In a reasonably new genre where everyone sounds like the same handful of bands, Emo newcomers Glassjaw are a breath of fresh air. With the pop sensibility of early Thursday, or american football, and an agressive edge reminiscent of deftones "adrenaline", Glassjaw prove themselves on "Worship and Tribute". This album is the most beautiful and angry thing I've ever heard.

For fans of: Deftones, Blindside, Thursday
