Album Notes This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Glassjaw: Daryl Palumbo (vocals); Justin Beck, Todd Weinstock (guitar); Dave Allen (bass); Larry Gorman (drums).WORSHIP AND TRIBUTE was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards For Best Recording Package.Hailing from the wilds of Long Island, Glassjaw find themselves continuing to rewrite the rules of aggro-rock with their major label debut WORSHIP AND TRIBUTE. Once again aided and abetted by uber-nu metal producer Ross Robinson, this hard-hitting quintet changes gears on the turn of a dime and can go from the brutal assault of "Pink Roses" to the moodier rumblings of ""Must've Run All Day" with its ethereal keyboard washes. With guitarists Justin Beck and Todd Weinstock providing the firepower, Glassjaw proves more than the equal of any of their more well established peers, whether on the swirling maelstrom that is "M.U. Empire" or the heavy grooves that permeate "Cosmopolitan Bloodloss."Frontman Daryl Palumbo has the chops to either keep up with the breakneck pace fueling the insistent "Radio Cambodia" or make like Joe Jackson on the far mellower and melodic "Ape Dos Mil." There's even a System Of A Down-like utilization of unorthodox time changes within the epic bars of "The Gillette Cavalcade Of Sports." Glassjaw are poised to turn the world of new metal on its collective head.

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
