    They have mellowed with age... but it is a good mellow. I still enjoy their more offish stuff from the past, but I definitely give them two thumbs up on their new approaches. Remember: SY are not meant to be takin from an average music p.o.v. they are experimental... there is alot to learn in their cacophony

    This time around, the band square their artier tendencies with their sweet tooth for classic psych-rock. [Aug 2002, p.110]
  2. Q Magazine
    80
    An essay in coolly assured, sophisticated leftfield rock, occasionally laden with trademark discordance yet also full of scintillating tunes. [June 2002, p.123]
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    Overall, SY fail to get into their groove between twisted, brutalised melody and spastic six-string experimentalism.
