    Inside the Ships will assuredly grab hold by the second listen, if not the first.

    Tarwater's continual evolution into something other than what it was before, however subtle each individual step might be, proceeds as ever on 2011's Inside the Ships, the group's 11th full-length.

    For all its sonic roaming and mulching, Inside The Ships holds together surprisingly well as a combined entity.

    This time around, tuba, chanter, cymbalom and (apparently) paprika add to the nuance by which, at their best, Tarwater seem to stretch sound and time.

    The results are--as ever--compellingly inventive and seductively imagistic. [Oct 2011, p.100]

    Inside The Ships is one of their most entertaining yet confounding albums. [Oct 2011, p.101]
