    Now adds a shimmer of spiritual awaking to the mix. ... An energising release. [Mar 2019, p.27]

    It's muscular. One is meant to get lost in the clamor. His guitar playing is hard and often in martial rhythm abetted by pounding drums. This creates a dreamlike, trance effect that compels one to be in the moment.

    There’s so much to absorb here, with creative lyrical and often jagged production twists, let alone melodies that veer all over the map, that you’ll quickly return for another cycle on Gallo’s musical merry-go-round to hear what you missed the first time.

    Stardust Birthday Party is not always what one would have expected from Ron Gallo on the basis of his previous work, and for the most part that works in its favor; this is passionate and exciting music, thoughtful but never staid, and it shows Gallo to be an artist with some surprises up his sleeve.

    Gallo's eccentricity is bound to irritate at least as many as it charms. [Jan 2019, p.91]
