    It's the kind of record that needs to be approached in increments, but the rewards reveal themselves when given the patience and time that Callus deserves.

    With the exception of Krishna Punk and Devils, the album lacks drive, and at 19 tracks it’s easy to lose focus while listening.

    It’s unflinching, unapologetic and at times bordering on unlistenable. But it’s a bold sonic statement that brutally conveys its intended message. In this, Callus proves a success.

    A listening experience every bit as intense and idiosyncratic as Ecks himself. [Sep. 2016, p.106]

    It's an appropriately trying listen, far removed from 2010's relatively mannered debut. [Sep 2016, p.92]

    Sometimes it makes sense. A lot of the time, it doesn't. [Sep 2016, p.74]

    Unfortunately, Gonjasufi's attempt to turn his solidarity with the angry and the dispossessed into a musical concept is too blandly realized to be convincing.
