  • Summary: This is the debut for the new band led by Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis (here on drums), joined by members of psych-rockers Feathers.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 9 out of 13
  2. Negative: 0 out of 13
  1. Witch manage to do a lot more in forty minutes with little more than a bunch of badass riffs and a decent rhythm section than most metal bands these days can do with seventy minutes.
  2. There's something really interesting about the way these two conflicting styles fit together here, a groove for headbangers with flowers in their hair.
  3. Alternative Press
    80
    A bona-fide motherfucker of a stoner jam. [May 2006, p.170]
  4. This is essentially one solid, irresistible 40-minute groove.
  5. Uncut
    70
    It manages to be forceful and intricate in equal amounts. [May 2006, p.129]
  6. What does all this mean to the casual music fan? Invest in a reissue of Jeff Beck's Truth.
  7. Mojo
    60
    An exercise in monolithic heaviness. [May 2006, p.98]
