    Needing to prove nothing, Goat have created one of the most definitive musical statements of 2016.

    The sprawling 13-track release that is GOAT's third studio full-length certainly allows each track to breathe more than ever before but even in their more subdued acoustic state the band's full weight can be felt.

    In short, though this is a completely new face to Goat, a deeper, richer exploration of their abilities, it’s not a complete departure.

    Requiem is a double album, granting the band the real estate to stretch out more than usual and, at times, you wish they’d go even further.

    Goat have built a minor cult around their progressive, globe-straddling psychedelic world music, and this third album will only lengthen the Kool-Aid queue.

    On Requiem, they invert proportions, taking a variety of folk and world sounds as base ingredients and embellishing those with rock noise. Whether that's a more intriguing approach depends on if you prefer relentless musical phrases delivered on pan flute or distorted guitar. [Nov 2016, p.91]

    Tracks like “It’s Not Me” and “All-Seeing Eye” feel like works in progress and weigh down an already overlong album. Yet the album has its superlative bursts, like the fingerpicked coda of “Goodbye” and the gnarly biker metal guitars on “Alarms” and “Goatfuzz”. [Oct 2016, p.61]
