    Laced is more than a real step-up for Psychedelic Horseshit, it's the best album of its kind I've heard this year.

    The name Psychedelic Horseshit is more accurate than ever, as they truly sound psychedelic for the first time, surrounded by wild soundbursts and shiny musical squiggles that would probably be called "horseshit" by most mainstream rock fans...In a way, it's perfect. A perfect mess.

    For once, he can consider the game well and truly played.

    Shit, Laced is not. The debut album is a testament to Psychedelic Horseshit's incredible versatility.

    Crucially, though, sardonically strong melodies underpin the, er, shit. [Jun 2011, p.94]

    Laced is indeed bigger and bolder than previous albums, which is somewhat ironic since it has a more intimate, made-in-the-bedroom feel than the band's earlier basement forays.

    PH's previous efforts (the live shows, in particular) have been experiments in what an average listener can take, punctuated with bursts of pleasant catchiness. On Laced, Whitehurst has inverted the ratio, which works, which means the more grating leftovers can be appreciated for the oddities they are.

    Noise music has been content to let its harsh aesthetics do the talking alone for too long; with Laced, Whitehurst has challenged that paradigm.
