    It's crisper and clearer, but simultaneously thicker and murkier than before. The album isn't just dense, it's bloated-in the very best sense of the word.

    Revels in its own thudding nastiness but brings few new ideas to the table. [Dec 2004, p.138]

    I simply can't imagine a time when I'd put this disc on for pleasure listening, but considering Halloween is coming up, Burned Mind is the perfect thing if you want to scare the bejeebus out of the neighborhood children.

    This album is for the ages. A noise masterpiece. In a post-apocalyptic world, this is pop music. Like Sonic Youth's first masterpiece, Evol, Burned Mind blends fun with noise. Except here the fun is found in the rhythms and loud-as-hell dynamic, not in pop hooks. Certainly not in pop hooks. Most definitely not in pop hooks. But who needs pop hooks?… Expand

    This is actually pretty weak as far as noise goes in my opinion. I just don't like the textures they bring to the table. I would recommend Prurient, Mouthus, Double Leopards or Birchville Cat Motel. Wolf Eyes aren't that great. I don't know what the deal is.… Expand

    What an effluvial pile of crap! This is not art, it is not music, it is what a monkey could create with his or her two hands on a minimoog and its posterior resting upon a fader. Utter drivel and not worth the time to even sample.… Expand
