MagnetAug 9, 2016Gone are the moments of meditative brooding that made up much of Quarter, replaced here by a bold, tenacious resolve across eight taut, meticulously detailed tracks. [No. 133, p.59]
-
The WireJul 18, 2016Tooth works brilliantly as a whole, each piece building up tension to breaking point and refusing to offer resolution. [Jun 2016, p.48]

Jul 13, 2016Tooth, with its sharp title, minimalist drum attacks and hauntological synth textures, represents the antithesis of such plurality, reducing dance to its most antagonistic and unflinchingly bare-boned aesthetic and coming up with a new language from familiar idioms, sometimes from other genres.
-
Jun 8, 2016Tooth is best devoured as a whole and without distractions; its singular sound and delivery is one that Raime has tirelessly honed into a steadfast concoction of brooding dystopia.
-
Jun 8, 2016Tooth demonstrates Raime as multi-dimensional musicians, even if you have to travel through a black hole to get to those dimensions.

Jun 10, 2016The atmosphere is so consistent, the pacing so uniform, the sounds created with such a defined set of instrumental sources, that all the pieces blur into one.
-
Jun 8, 2016Tooth may not be any less difficult to take in as a whole, but this time around, they've at least offered a slightly easier entry point into the sometimes bleak but fascinating realm they occupy.

Jun 10, 2016Compared to the way more dynamic Quarter Over a Living Line, some of the tracks on this album have a maddening potential to them (the sequence Glassed/Cold Cain is my personal stress peak), which comes from such an extended use of repetition. At the same time, tracks like ‘Front Running’ and ‘Stummer', manage to sound uplifting, almost motivational in their stubborn pursuit of monotony.
