    Though it falls some way short of the arid, acid-fried surreality of their key early releases Meat Puppets II and Up On The Sun, their 14th studio set, Rat Farm, is one of their better post-millennial efforts.

    It's easy-going, it's listenable, but it also sounds a bit, well, tired. [13 Apr 2013, p.59]

    Good but not as good as you might think it is on a song-to-song basis, enjoyable but somewhat less memorable.

    A simple, joyful late-career bloom. [May 2013, p.106]

    The perfectly pleasant Rat Farm [feels] strangely wanting.

    Rat Farm has only the occasional flash of brilliance. [Apr 2013, p.53]
