    An experience that's exhilarating, frenetic and gratifying.

    You get the feeling that Goat could just keep this sinuous groove going forever.

    Despite the apparent lack of new ideas here, the undeniable success of this work lies in Goat's deepening and development of the musical and spiritual themes presented on in World Music.

    Goat are making true, sludged up psychedelia that seems to come from a new, specially cultivated brain-lobe.

    In presentation, GOAT makes wild psychedelic rock seem part of ancient human tradition and Commune comes across like an artifact of primal, bygone days.

    Goat are a bit too tight and knowing to be transcendental or truly trippy, for now at least, although the Afro-beat leanings that crop up all over Commune point at avenues rich in potential out-of-body experiences.
