  1. Drowned In Sound

    This is an organic, homegrown creation that sounds as though it's had a lot of time and love invested in it; lend an inquisitive ear and find yourself instantly besotted.
  2. Lost At Sea
    85
    Viva Voce have always been musically intriguing and continue their winning streak with a diverse suite of songs that come together as a cohesive whole.
  3. Pitchfork
    80
    Get Yr Blood Sucked Out is confident, psychedelic, hard-hitting, and the best noise they've made yet.
  4. NOW Magazine
    80
    It feels way huger than the work of two people, with dense, textured songs that sound like a remarkable collision between two distinct personalities.
  5. AllMusic
    80
    This is stoner rock for the indie set, so every suggestion of Led Zeppelin or Queen gets filtered through a Sonic Youth or Yo La Tengo aesthetic, which helps keep the bombast and pagan iconography at bay.
  6. Mojo
    70
    An album that, by turns, is lacerating and seductive. [Sep 2006, p.106]

    The members of Viva Voce accomplish a catchy cohesiveness that's at its best when they allow their songs to stray.

    this CD is the unsung GEM of 2006. Not one track is unnecessary. Brilliant. Can't wait to hear more from Viva Voce.
