    With its lushly forbidding soundscapes and enigmatic lyricism, Visitations bears repeated journeys. [2 Feb 2007, p.123]

    Despite the album's failure to forge any radical new ground... Visitations still offers some satisfaction by giving longtime fans exactly the sort of spooky rhythms and cryptic lyrics that made them fall in love with the band in the first place. [#16, p.90]

    Are you in the mood for a fuzzed out punk folk foot stomper (whatever that is)? Well then this is the album for you. Starting the best opening song of the year,'Family' (nothing else comes close), Visitations moves at a breakneck speed through wah-wah guitar fuelled ballads, blistering non-intelligible punk thrashers and accoustic death marches and then clocks out as soon as it came barely 30 minutes later. There is no other album like it right now and no other album rewards replays more than this. It seems simple, but these 11 (and 1 intermission) songs will keep you hooked and coming back for months. If you give them the chance.… Expand
