    Macaroni is an album that deserves to be heard.

    Comforting, unsettling, danceable; one way or another Macaroni is a record to make you sweat.

    The arch, sometimes claustrophobic Macaroni demonstrates Conn's muso-like command of often juxtaposed genres. [May 2012, p.95]

    Macaroni is classic Bobby Conn, and much like its crudely drawn cover depicting an appropriation of the classic blue and orange Kraft Mac n' Cheese box, those who like it will love it, and those who don't will likely pay it no mind.

    Music that alternates magnetic engagement with "F...k you" sarcasm.

    Dark, funny and teetering on the verge of Phil Ochs delusional, Macaroni is a assault on hipster apathy. [May 2012, p.69]
  7. 60
    A gloopy cheese-feast of sprightly psychedelic pop, served with a dollop of wanton James Brown funk on the side.
