Jun 23, 2017Prepare for all the fiery guitar solos, vocal howls and whoops, and the ever-present double-drummer attack and honking harmonica you could ever need. Overall, Murder of the Universe is an audacious, wild masterwork by a band who can never rest.

Jul 10, 2017While its episodic narrative veers off into realms of absurdity akin to standalone send-ups, it proves--especially after a repeated listen--a fun, texturally dense celebration of the possible, a showcase of real daring that has been the payoff of countless prog odysseys of yore, the perfectly bonkers lineage of which it so clearly stems.

Jun 20, 2017With the songs segueing from one to another, neither the mood nor the message are ever in doubt. That’s fortuitous; despite its ample stock of songs--21 to be exact--the album still clocks in at just under 45 minutes.

Jun 23, 2017Overall this record requires a huge narrative commitment, with the payoff of a vomit coffin. Not worth it.

Sep 12, 2022this album is rediculous. the spoken word, insaine synth, and firey guitar solos make for an absurd lovecraftian roller coaster.
