    Pretty awesome on a whole! It does lack the Michigan Girls and Stepdaughter-type pieces of Cradlesnakes, but it definately worth the listen. It will translate well live, as the songs have more space for jamming and rockin'. As with any Califone record, it will take a listen or two to understand what is all going on. Excellent record!

    [A] hapless, semi-comatose new record that should have started with the last two tracks, while the rest of the album should have been scrapped.

    The music is mysterious and moody, with an unusual blend of instruments and lyrics full of strange imagery, but no real narrative.

    Keeps an unsteady path between fine altered-state atmospherica and irritating cosmic twittering. [Feb 2004, p.100]
