The WireFeb 15, 2013Though primarily centered around Sweet's songcraft, Burnt Up on Re-Entry benefits from the judicious incorporation of primitive electronics. [Feb 2013, p.58]
-
Jan 29, 2013Though Burnt Up on Re-Entry trades a little of his earlier work's singularity for a more flexible approach, it shows Sweet can defy expectations, and should pique the interest of anyone partial to metal's more experimental side or post-rock's heavier side.

Jan 29, 2013Frightening though some of these passages are, the effect is not all hard going. The power of space is writ large everywhere on Burnt Up On Re-Entry, the giddy weight of infinity, the feeling of soaring transcendent journey and ego death--it's all rather exhilarating stuff, especially on a cold January evening.

MojoFeb 6, 2013Skittery clicks and manipulated samples add heat and light to plucked guitar and breathy voice on songs that evolve in space-time. [Mar 2013, p.98]
-
Jan 29, 2013It's despairing and unfriendly, but it opens up an entire new world for Sweet to explore, and is richest and most surprising Boduf release yet.

Feb 11, 2013He has not made a classic here, but he may have made an album which allows him to do so again in the future.

UncutFeb 4, 2013[It's] a kind of remedial emo-psych-rock, where dunderheaded riffs meet go-nowhere spurts of electronics, while ponderous guitar shadows equally ponderous keys. [Mar 2013, p.68]
