  1. 86
    It's sleek and distinctly studio-based, with live instrumentation taking a backseat to plush soundscapes that could only come from some fancy knobwork. [#5, p.92]
  2. There's a great deal of variety to the record, something that sets them apart from the vast majority of the bands that pay homage to the '60s, but also something that keeps them from developing a distinct identity.
  3. 80
    Sound[s] like a typical Elephant 6-related band--absolutely fantastic. [May 2003, p.108]
