    BPM said it the best, such an eruption of shattered awesome. This albums filled with pain yet it shouts through it like its having a big drunk, drug filled party, rarely giving into the pain and when it does, beautifuly. One of the best of the year.

    As tough sledding as Drifters/Love Is the Devil can be both psychically and musically, there are enough moments of enlightenment that make you more than willing to follow Hungtai wherever he goes.

    Love Is The Devil draws more obviously from film music, creating a moving, mostly instrumental platter loaded with evocative drones and coarse textures. [No.99, p.55]

    The first half of this double album follow-up picks up Badlands' wayward trail.... As the set wears on, Hungati's soundtrack-composer instincts take over. [Jul 2013, p.84]
