    As the album carries on, it becomes more and more evident that this albums is less about sex than a statement about the overblown pretentiousness and drama surrounding many of the bands with artistic merit that are popular, circa 2006.
  2. Prefix Magazine

    It's disturbing like a Mike Patton record, with blink-and-you'll-miss-it lyrics that serve as confrontational one-liners.

    This restless, rootless disc suggests Cex hasn't settled on his future destination just yet. [Aug 2006, p.222]

    What’s most striking about the album is the realization that despite his reputation as a musical chameleon, all of Cex’s albums are pretty similar.

    One of my favorite albums of the year. It's really rich and deeply layered and refreshing.
