    Even when they do go a bit hippy-dippy, it's rarely at the expense of something you can hum along to. [Summer 2019, p.115]

    It's a bit of a shame that the band's name may turn potential fans away at the door, but PPC work pretty hard to overcome their self-imposed handicap and turn in an exciting and solidly built third LP.

Not as game-changing as High Visceral pt. 1, but still a nice development as a band. Shows they are innovating. This album actually compares well against Claypool-Lennon Delirium, which is really saying something. The previously released "Social Candy" is a super-effective rock piece, but the rest of the album is more experimental. "Hymn for a Droid" and "Keen for Kick Ons" are both standouts.… Full Review »
