    Easily their worst project, mostly because of how tame it is in comparison to their other releases.

    The looseness of Oblivion Hunter is a nice reminder that the core of their appeal isn't so much that they're pushing their sound into new places, but that they're two guys who can't hide how happy they are that they get to spend their lives making this kind of a racket.

    Lightning Bolt often seem as if they are just frenetic energy, which is fun for a little while, but it gets boring pretty soon.

    This album is a throwback to the group's fundamental low-fi assault--less a premeditated statement of musical progress than a controlled release of pressure.
