"...a masterpiece of experimental alt rock."
www.uttertrash.net/september 04

"The most ambitious album of the year.  Indie-rock finally has its Moby Dick, in all of its inscrutable, beautiful, mysterious, and cacophonous glory...
This album is my strongest recommendation thus far this year."

"Fans of sometimes spacey, occasionally sludgy, but oft-quirky rock, take notice."
