Pitchfork

White Pepper lacks the cohesiveness of earlier works, but it also demonstrates how a band can undergo some serious genre-bending, while still retaining a sound that is uniquely theirs.

takes the torch from chocolate and cheese as their best album (consistently...) i'd recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the band but hasn't heard much of their canon. plain and simple it is an album that becomes integral in the soundtrack of your own experience.
