Jun 22, 2022Probably the best album from one of the most consistently sonically impressive bands from the past couple of decades.

Mar 17, 2011An interest-piquing statement by an innovative and technically proficient band. They certainly have their own style and don't really seem to care if you like it or not. A little over-hyped, but still an enjoyable record.

Too mischievous for Led Zeppelin's Valhalla and too self-aware for Bal-Sagoth's Magic Kingdom, Wonderful Rainbow conjures retarded unicorns, copulating robots, and head-banging ogres in one technicolor beat.

For an album that changes pace only for intensely noisy noodling, Wonderful Rainbow shows remarkable range.

Wonderful Rainbow is a brilliant record and has upped the ante tremendously for Lightning Bolt. They managed to take every single aspect that made Ride the Skies such a great record and intensify it severely, all the while showcasing incredibly tight and complex musicianship knowing when to hold in the reins and when to set them on fire.
