    What Mind Over Matter does exceptionally well is meld the playful and the cynical while always bringing it back to the songs--in both a lyrical and musical sense.

    Mind Over Matter's sleazy rockabilly nightmares and Captain Beefheart-channeling psychedelic detours are entirely keeping with the group's '80s records. [Jun 2015, p.93]

    It meanders stylistically all over the map, but unites all those styles in a pounding, obliterating “Bristol Road Leads to Dachau”-style drum beat that punches you right in the soft tissues.

    This Terrific follow-up is even better, the quartet unloading a clamorous set of songs full of pique, provocation and waspish humour. [Aug 2015, p.77]

    Still scabrous, sardonic and singular. [Jun 2015, p.109]
