    "Ultra Payloaded" is a party record that veers from the light, airy and catchy to the absolutely crankable. [2 Jun 2007]

    Mr. Farrell has become the happy hippie that Jim Morrison never was.

    Most of Ultra Payload feels pretty random.

    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.
  7. NOW Magazine
    40
    It's all a bit of a muddle.

    'Ultra Payloaded' is largely sub-U2.

    Bettencourt's howling power-glam riffs pair well enough with Farrell's alley-cat wail. [Jun 2007, p.95]

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

    The music is as lame as that lame-ass cover. Such lameness.
