    Generic. Testimonium Songs are crying in front of this record (and whole discography as well). The lyrics (some musics, as in Cha Cha Cha Chakra and New Wave Hippes, are shallow and VERY uneccessary, besides do not express the feeling that the singer would like to share and its very confuse. Rhythmically, is awful and unlabored.

    It's a slow-grower, worth applying oneself too. If one can disregard the brashness, drop the record a few times, and get over the weird for weird's sake, it is possible to embrace the complexities buried beneath in this offering from a group of post-punk, avant-garde cobblers.

    Not as intentionally abrasive as its predecessor, 2013's Testimonium Songs, even if the new record also opts for clangor and heard edges over tuneful song structures. Still, if He's Got is noisy, it's not unmelodic. [No. 159, p.58]

    He’s Got the Whole This Land Is Your Land in His Hands is by no stretch of the imagination the most disagreeable Joan of Arc record to date, or the most impenetrable, either; some of the soundscapes here are pleasingly smooth given how scattershot Kinsella’s approach so often is.
