    It certainly doesn't rock as hard as an OSees album, but the mind-blowing nature of Dwyer's work remains intact and there's absolutely no reason anyone already under the band's spell shouldn't find Panther Rotate to be another vital and inspiring piece of the Oh Sees/OSees puzzle.

    This swift reimagining of the Protean Threat tapes launches into greater psychedelic flights. [Jan 2021, p.31]

    It makes for some oddly sublime listening. [Jan 2021, p.85]

    This record certainly makes things no clearer, but like standing and observing any great work of art, it’s true intentions and artistic merit might not become immediately clear. Only upon repeat experience may the true extent of its merit reveal itself.

    Love the psychedelic feel of the album. Some of the songs take me back to early Thee Oh Sees days.

    " A good... Something, but not a album for sure"

    A formula to a well done album is to suprise the Listener, overtaking the expectation of the public, but just when the expectations break makes sense, and that's not what this album delivers. Being unsettled on purpose don't makes it better just because you want, it's exactly the opposite of it, it's confusing and it's irritating.

    Although, the tracks is not bad, really, it just don't work together at all, maybe a two separate EPs could give this work more charisma.
