Welcome to the breath-robbing, heart-pounding Relationship of Command, an album many have been waiting for with red-faced anticipation since their last EP, the brilliant Vaya. On this 11-track masterpiece, so full of adrenaline and swarming moods, ATDI has created one of the most infecting and mind-blowing rock albums in a long time. While most of the tracks are of the more aggressive edge, this is undeniably the band's most focused and well put together and, therefore, best all-around album yet. "Quarantined" and "Sleepwalk Capsules" alone make this album worth purchasing: This music is seamless and inspiring. Electronic movements meshed into "Enfilade" stretch the texture of the album further, into the unique backup vocals of Iggy Pop on "Rolodex Propaganda." Amidst all the rock, there is the undeniably unique edge about ATDI's sound, something that has permeated through their music from the Hell Paso 7". Beautiful vocals bursting passion in quirky, abstract, and often thrilling lyrics, youthful energy, driving melodies, and a sense of beyond-the-moment urgency. Moving from Relentless to Grand Royal, as well as to the notorious and mostly infamous producer Ross Robinson, has not killed the band's spirit or sound, as many loyal fans feared it would in the pattern of Jawbreaker, Jawbox, among others. If anything, it has allowed the band to push themselves to new limits, to fulfill what they have been working for relentlessly for so long. This is not a band that could ever be insincere. You can see it in their eyes and feel it in their music and work ethic. ATDI is one of the saviors of true emotional straight-up rock!
I haven't listened to this album in a fair while - I had almost forgotten how incredibly awesome it is! Thank God for wonderful artists like At the Drive-In...although they may no longer be.

Arc ArsenalCedric, Omar, get the band back together. Those two new bands still aren't as good as the old one. The Prog stylings just fit some other people a little better, and you have yet to be truly experimental.I know, I know, we blame the wacky tabacky, too.One-Armed ScissorCosmonaut

At the Drive-In is a wicked cool band with wicked cool hair.I used to have ATDI hair, but then it made me look like Claudio Sanchez, so I cut it.

I saw At the Drive-In by accident when they opened for Rage Against the Machine in Worcester, some 6 or 7 years ago. It was after Vaya, but before Relationship of Command. They sucked about as hard as any band could. Everyone there including me was holding their ears and pleading for Cedric to shut his manic wailing and even more manic jumping from the bass drum. Just terrible, I wrote them off...
