    Although their name might seem like a stretch when requesting at your local record store, this album is worth a purchase.
  2. Slant Magazine
    60
    Reintegration Time is a neat, reserved album, if not satisfying as a close approximation of the band's live sound, then as a more low-key exploration on a parallel path.
  3. All Music Guide
    60
    It all adds up to a good but frustrating album of really solid highs and really annoying lows.
  4. Spin
    60
    On cuts like "How Do I Maintain Pt. 1," the rhythmic interplay gets weighed down by its own excess, but the more expansive clouds of synth exhaust in wordless bookends "Run" and "Reintegration Time" offer more rewarding highs.

    This band, which I shall call SO4 to save typing, is absolutely amazing live, and I was fully expecting a lame studio release to follow. While it's certainly not perfect, there are moments in here that almost capture that raw energy and unbridled enthusiasm. Seriously, they're nothing more joyful than to see a band having way too much fun performing. The album doesn't leave me grinning the way they do at a show, but I'd rather have a band that, if you've only heard the CD, will blow you away in concert. Plus, once they learn how to make a studio record, things are only going to get better.… Expand
