Alternative Press[It] has a charm that transcends your typical noise-splunk band. [Mar 2007, p.145]
-
An album that is as fiercely imaginative as any the Sacramento-based group has released before.
-
This is a challenging album that Frank Zappa, Rush, Miles Davis, or Slayer could each call their own.
-
The group's sound is, at times, difficult to simply listen to, so it comes as no surprise that expanding upon it in such a drastic way would produce several miscues.
-
Imagine The Mars Volta's swollen red super-giant bursting beyond the constraints of mass and time and finally contracting to an all encompassing black-hole, sucking in Lightning Bolt’s heaviest riffs and The Boredoms’ most intense drum work after hurtling them to ‘n’ fro against all manner of cosmic debris.
-
Hella's old guard are likely to be wicked pissed.
-
Excusing the album's inherent garishness, 666 expands Hella's core sound to new heights that, although at times hard to stomach, finds the band both at their most playful and regimented.
-
Surprisingly forgettable.
-
Great musicianship does not a great album make, particularly when the singer is so out of his league.
-
SpinThe quintet conjures the Mars Volta doing Zeppelin karaoke over two-bit Mr. Bungle. [Feb 2007, p.84]
-
Hella is stuck in the realm of Yowie -- playing with excellent ideas, but too stuck on defining themselves with an all too familiar genre.
-
There’s No 666 will challenge you as much as anything you’ve heard in the last year, in both good ways and bad.
-
UncutOver time, vocalist Aaron Ross stands out as the weak link, his voice merely shrill and average. [Apr 2007, p.102]
