PerrySep 9, 2004Would this CD be so highly rated if it were from a band noone had heard of before? The best tracks are the old ones (which don't sound that much different from the demo and live versions - particularly "Playland"), the Conley compositions, and "Into the Fire" (which I like a lot but it still makes me want to turn it off and listen to "Red" from the "Signals" EP).

XyloplaxmedusiformisMay 21, 2004Nothing will equal the blinding historical originality of VS., but this is an excellent album, with a greater range of tones than their earlier stuff. Too bad most of the other bands out there are so idea-deprived that these cats come back 22 years later and are the best sounding album around.

PatrickTMay 21, 2004MOB leads me to think of convoy after convoy racing for a bottleneck where only one single unit may emerge victorious. left behind is the wreckage, both metallic and vaporous, a roadblock to the uninspired who reside in fast and trash culture of today's consumerism.

SpinEven more dense and brutal than Burma's early records. [Jun 2004, p.103]
-
The album doesn't break any new ground for the band, but finds Burma at the top of its game, mixing artful music, intelligent lyrics and controlled sonic mayhem.
-
The songs here sound as if the tension built up over such a long spell of lying dormant has been released to thrilling effect.
