Moore turns inward and turns down, which works to his advantage.

The WireTrees Outside The Academy is a relaxed, organic record that charms without really trying, and perhaps the closest Moore will ever come to the lost Moby Grape album. [Sep 2007, p.57]
-
Trees Outside The Academy is a masterclass of prog drugginess, brimming with sweet melodies and lullaby choruses.
-
It caps it all off to be as blunt, open and insightful as you would expect from someone you're now on first name terms with.
-
It doesn’t pretend to hold a candle to the big-dogs and game-changing double albums that cacophonised your youth, nor does it want to.

Under The RadarStill, there's plenty of Moore's signature rock action here--from the incendiary 'Wonderful Witches' to the languidly paced guitar jam of 'Silver Blue'--to make Trees a facinating subplot in the continuing story of Sonic Youth. [Summer 2007, p.76]
-
Trying too hard to mimic his band’s tried-and-true telepathy with only karaoke-level results, it's easy to see he thinks he’s run out of ways to experiment.
