    Some of the rather quizzical couplets here, all of them set to heart-wrenching chord sequences that hark back to the band's favorite 1970s guilty pleasures. It set SFA apart from the world of Britpop in the mid-'90s. [Dec 2016, p.51]

    Even now, Fuzzy Logic hasn't dated and certainly doesn't sound as though it was made 20 years ago.

    Super Furry world is a weird place, and the gift of hindsight simply tells us that the Welsh quintet were simply inviting us in the easy way. It also doesn't take much scratching at the surface of Fuzzy Logic to realise how insidiously bizarre it is. ... As with any reissue, the accompanying bonus disc of demos are a mixed bag; mainly straightforward runs of album tracks are interspersed with some genuinely interesting alternative takes of familiar material.

    Fuzzy Logic stands up among them as a solid record. Even the reissue was treated with remarkable creative focus and it has 35 bonus tracks, including all the album's B-sides, two demo sessions, and a live festival set from 1996.

    On transferring the original tapes band archivist Cliph Schurlock realised that the original mastering had shaved off the mid-range frequencies, which he promptly restored, along with previously edited intros. So what we have here is a much warmer-sounding, fuller album, along with the contemporary B-sides, revealing demos and a raucous live set from Phoenix festival. It’s a psych-dipped, surreal set of infectious, concise pop gems.

    After 20 years, Fuzzy Logic still hasn't stopped making sense. [Jan 2017, p.110]

    [Fuzzy Logic] has aged well. [Dec 2016, p.117]
