    These Guys are Really Finger Lickin' Good - sharedsorrows.com - Though I imagine anyone that has found their way here already knows that. Besides, you have your own ears and can tell whether you 'like' this kinda muzic yourself (some review, huh?!). BUT for my money, they reminded me of Old Papa Zappa and the Mothers.

    Beautifully recorded so that every instrument signifies, with piano and Mellotron popping out of the mix, Funeral Mariachi swaddles you in epic grooves and melodies.

    This is as riveting and beautiful a valedictory address as you could hope for from these underground heroes. [Jan 2011, p.95]
