The songs on Thickfreakness are all near masterpieces.

MojoA rich, compelling album. [Jun 2003, p.93]
-
Thickfreakness isn't quite their debut, but it's still a powerhouse, even exceeding its ancestor in total spectacle. Raw rock grandeur as so frequently conjured up on this album is hard to come by in any capacity; if that means having to overlook a few minor flaws, it's worth it.
-
Alternative PressWhat you hear on Thickfreakness is no less faithful than what old black guys on porches on the Delta have churned out for the last hundred years. [June 2003, p.105]
-
MagnetWhen they fall into slow, sullen standards like minimalist closer "I Cry Alone," it's magnificently evil. [#59, p.86]
-
Thickfreakness is an unrelentingly dour record - perhaps this music was best left in the past.
