AMG Review of Broken Glass

Steve Huey
All Music Guide

Broken Glass finds Crowbar stirring a bit more experimentalist noise rock into their cauldron of doom-laden, grungy dirges. The songs flow into one another like molten metal, balancing punishing atonality with thunderous guitar riffs that help keep things structured. The result is one of the group's best albums, as challenging as it is pummeling.
