    Bontempi organ drum tracks merge together to create a hypnotic funk. [Sept. 2010, p. 118]
  2. A ramshackle beast largely informed by the tension between the pair's aforementioned psychedelic styles.
  3. The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness may attempt to forge a common ground between two trans-Atlantic artists, but even when working from the same instrumental base, the sensibilities at play here are still oddly segregated.
  4. While The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness is not a complete disaster, even the most loyal of fans will find it difficult to love. The end result sounds quickly thrown together and unusually bereft of ideas.
  5. It's this sense of melody that worked on projects as diverse as the Neon Neon album and Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse's "Dark Night of the Soul" record. Unfortunately, this is the failing of The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness where more should be read into the "vs" in the album's title.

    It's probably fair to say that Super Furry Animals would not have had such excellent run were their creative impulses not balanced perfectly between poignant songcraft and archaic weirdness. On The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness, however, we find Gruff Rhys indulging rather heavily in the latter. [Sep 2010, p.101]
