I don't know if this is one of the bravest or boldest albums of the year, but its definitely one of the neatest.

Alternative PressIt's a unique psychedelic experience only the most headstrong will be able to handle. [Aug 2004, p.122]

Under The RadarDespite the somewhat uneasy spirit that runs through the album, the album holds together from start to finish impressively. [#7]
-
It more or less picks up where Beaches and Canyons left off, allowing for more subtle changes in tone while distilling the Black Dice sound down to a considerably purer essence.
