    Mole City is effective and enjoyable on several levels. What's missing in most tracks is some sizable degree of tension, something not so much applauded as internalized. [Nov-Dec 2013, p.97]

    A double album of prickly rock-outs, pugilistic odes, and utterly eerie ambient entr’actes bridging an anthology of lyricism that shunts your earbud-plugged head toward the mirror to take a good long look (and listen).

I would have liked that album if it was released 8 or 9 years ago. I was into that kind of music back then. Maybe in the future i'll like it more. But now, it's just okay. It didn't catch my attention or imagination in any kind of way. It wasn't exciting enough. Full Review »
