    There are certainly worse ways to make party music, but it doesn’t make it any less disappointing, especially if Zion I is going to keep up some of its backpackery, fight-for-change rhetoric.
  3. Alternative Press

    The album as a whole is scattershot; it's easy to appreciate the boundaries that Zion I are pushing, but the best authors have great editors. [Feb 2009, p.107]

    Its wilful eccentricity distracts from the Native Tongues style that's their strongest card. [Mar 2009, p.107]

    They switched it up, but still come correct. Open your mind and don't sleep.
