    I thought this was inchoherent garbage. I was expecting more from Beta Band this time around. They mumbled too much and a lot of their tracks lacked a good hook.

    Much like Hot Shots II, this album suffers from a pretty poor collection of easily forgettable tunes (except Assessment, which is actually quite interesting). Clearly The Lone Pigeon DID write all their best tunes!

    Taken as a group, Heroes to Zeros' slower songs are the musical equivalent of a month-long sinus infection: heavy on the repetition, sleepy detachment and sensory deprivation.

    It all feels so much more intentional than before, the mix of pop and experimentation they've long striven for. [May 2004, p.99]

    Moon-eyed stoners looking for a 21st-century Pink Floyd should seek out the Beta Band. [7 May 2004, p.86]
