WarrenSMay 2, 2007Don't approach the album intellectually! People who fetishise music won't get it, the intention was for it to make no sense to the reasonable part of your brain; a way of stripping music of its pretensions and fetishistic glamour. There's more going on here than what can be written in a review.

Ry'anneH.May 7, 2007I've been listening to the "corrected" version, as well as the original, on repeat for three days and I am enamored. "Opis Helpus" is the clear standout, both forwards and backwards. Transcendent, gorgeous, jaw-dropping.

hafnarbakkiMay 8, 2007I highly recommend Pitchfork to reverse their name into Krofhctip and buy all the rest of the Pullhair Rubeye albums and give them away to all Animal Collective fans for free.

rodrigorApr 30, 2007Did just what the Pitchfork reviewer said. I "fixed" it and reversed the songs. I also slowed "sasong" and it sounds great. I read somewhere than Avey and Kria were not happy with fans reversing the album, but lets face it, the original is pretentious and boring... the fixed one is a charming, beautiful album, par to Panda Bear's Person Pitch, and one of the year's best.

PeterSep 24, 2007Sometimes I like to look at Metacritic's all-time worst albums list and find Pullhair Rubeye's spot on that list and think to myself, "every single one of the albums above this one sound worse than an album played backwards," and then I grin, and briefly feel bad for K-Fed.

May 28, 2015This album is trash city. Once the novelty of reversed songs wears off this album becomes nothing more than annoying. However, I will admit that it is cool how the beat is still heard even when played backwards, this still only is a novelty, as an album it is too incoherent to be enjoyable.

It's like they rented studio time in the red room from Twin Peaks.

Pullhair Rubeye isn’t awful, but it could’ve been great.

Pullhair Rubeye is significant not because of its aesthetic and non-conceptual disposition, but also for its dedication to instinct and brave novelty (in the best sense of the word).
