    Old Growth has the primeval, fuzzed-out power of the trio's earlier albums, but with a new clarity and groove. [Mar 2008, p.113]
  2. Stylistically there is a different kind of freedom (there is even a nod to garage rock on ‘The Queen Of All Returns’) that seems less about affectation or indulgence and more about adhering to the spirit of each individual song, making for harder-fought but longer lasting rewards.
  3. In full flight of one of their frequent psychedelic crescendos, Dead Meadow are among rock's most eloquently deafening joys.
  4. Old Growth never quite achieves the glory of its predecessor. [Winter 2008, p.81]
