    Its a richly textured, layered, and almost earnest stab at everything this artist ever attempted to do before, all rolled up nice on one album.

    A surprisingly rewarding listen. [#17, p.86]

    What has sadly gone missing here, however, is Farrell's voice. [Jul 2007, p.112]

    'Ultra Payloaded' is largely sub-U2.

    Definitely not as overwhelming as Jane's Addiction comeback album Strays (that has to be the best comebackalbum of any band ever made, but maybe I'll have to review my opinion after Smashing Pumpkins' Zeitgeist in a few weeks) but still a great album w/ Kinky, Milky Ave and Ultrapayloaded Satellite Party as highlights. Perry Farrel did a great production-job mixing Fergie's vocals completely out, and I'm glad he took up the great Revolution Solution of Thievery's Corporation album again. As a final conclusion I'd love to quote the reviewer who called this album "party music for commercial spaceflights", that's right on hehe... 8,5/10, really.… Expand

    I love Perry, but I have to say that this album is just as dissapointing as Strays.
