mattaNov 22, 2006Definitely not for all tastes, but there is something incredibly hypnotic and strangely beautiful about this album. In my opinion, this is better than any boredom's album I've heard and even slightly better than the only other OOIOO album I've heard, Gold And Green. If you're feeling adventurous and want something completely different, look no further than this album.

LeoFNov 18, 2006Taiga means big river in japanese and forest in russian, and this is kinda how this album sounds like: raw, organic, powerful. OOIOO's best album yet and one of the best releases of 2006.

royfNov 8, 2006This is simply put, an annoying record. Images of bare white, bead clad feet kicking up suburban dust while organic apple juiced is served at just the right temperature abound. No one will think any less of you for binning this and admitting that you never actually liked it anyway. This is an irking (spiritual lacing together of genres, my bum) din.

SpinWhat's so brilliant about ['Taiga'] is how Yoshimi finds spiritual connections between unlikely genres. [Oct 2006, p.102]

The language barrier and discord makes the record incomprehensible, but nearly everything is still as intoxicating and entertaining as hell.

UncutEffortlessly ambitious. [Oct 2006, p.119]
