By day, Criteria's Stephen Pedersen is entrenched in the beige, climate-controlled world of corporate law. By night, he tirelessly melds face-searing riffs with pounding, syncopated drums, awaiting a rock 'n' roll miracle. He needn't wait for that miracle any longer. And neither must you. This is the band's second full-length; a startling display of fist-pumping anthems and contagious melodies bent on shaking the ass of the most coolly aloof listener. Two words: big rock.

REISSUE. By now you've come across Criteria's freshly released album When We Break and concluded that the rhetoric about "face-searing riffs" and "a rock 'n' roll" miracle" isn't really rhetoric at all. But wait, there's more. Criteria's 2003 Initial Records debut, En Garde was the album for which the cliche "criminally overlooked" was created. It's ass-shaking, rock 'n' roll genius. Check it out.
