Feb 7, 2011In no way throwaway, this is a trip.
-
Feb 7, 2011Bardo Pond's self-titled is a massive, monumental piece of work, proving once again that this long-running outfit can still crank the heavy, mind-numbing psych that it's always been known for.
-
The WireMar 1, 2011The warm campfire feel to much of Bardo Pond indicates just how much the likes of MV&EE owes this outfit, but MV&EE seldom sound this convincingly elsewhere. [Dec 2010, p.58]
-
Feb 7, 2011This album does nothing to disrupt their two-decade streak of psychedelic, cosmic, post-rock transcendence.
-
Feb 7, 2011So if the sprawling, all-bases-loaded Bardo Pond isn't the band's best LP, it might be their most representative: both the tiresome excess and the lung-blackening reward.
-
Feb 7, 2011Bardo Pond has a good amount of acoustic elements, which lighten up the touch a little bit and even bring out an Americana influence. This lighter sound may account for the more tired feel of this album, but there are still some compelling rockers.
