    A brilliant album. [Aug 2012, p.80]

    Throw It To The Universe's seven-track swan song isn't exactly the band going out on top, but shows it leaving the game admirably, crafting the same catchy, thoughtful songs it's always made.

    While the Universe is a fairly subdued affair, its quiet quality speaks volumes. [No.89, p.61]

    As the final stitch in their sprawling psychedelic tapestry ... Universe is a perfectly haphazard send-off. [Jun 2012, p.111]

    A sense of closure pervades here. The group's hermeticism-influenced lyrics remain cryptic as ever, it's true, but TSOOL will be missed. [Jul 2012, p.94]

    Surprisingly sedate for a final blow-out, Throw It to the Universe sends The Soundtrack of Our Lives down the road to retirement with beauty, class and grace.

    Throw It to the Universe, number six on the docket by the sextet, keeps pace with past efforts despite dragging at times.

    It is not an album that will ever be treated with the same awed reverence as the band's first three albums, but it is a work of great talent and a happy note to end the mixtape for this chapter of our lives. [Aug/Sep 2012, p.121]

    TSOOL may be growing more understated as they mature, but this dependable album demonstrates again that classic rock played by its attentive fans can remain dignified and confident.

    It's not so much that Throw It to the Universe is a bad album; but it is quite inconsistent when compared to their best work.
