    i would be lying if i said this was a perfect long awaited album, because its definitely not. i was disappointed on how much songs i was skipping until i ran into a few that were catchy and worth keeping around. those songs are "Crazy", "Reefer Man", the interlude and "Satao" (which btw its not even a **** song) and thats about it. they tried keeping to their usual sound but clearly triedi would be lying if i said this was a perfect long awaited album, because its definitely not. i was disappointed on how much songs i was skipping until i ran into a few that were catchy and worth keeping around. those songs are "Crazy", "Reefer Man", the interlude and "Satao" (which btw its not even a **** song) and thats about it. they tried keeping to their usual sound but clearly tried going into another direction into the newer crowd. skip this one.… Expand

    With Elephants on Acid they often sacrifice, clearly by choice, catchiness for a more avant-garde complexity. There is a fantastic set of songs awaiting murkily on Elephants on Acid, and for Cypress Hill's intended audience here--the true fans--it's sure to be a joy unearthing them.

    It's not so much a return to first principals as a 3D reboot of the homicidal stoner aesthetic established between 1991-1995 with Cypress Hill, Black Sunday and Temples Of Boom. [Nov 2018, p.52]

    Elephants On Acid finds Cypress Hill not only recapturing the dynamism and urgency of their early-90s heyday, but also taking that energy somewhere completely new. [Nov 2018, p.84]
