The WireThere is aimlessness on occasion--the mainly instrumental "OVNI" frankly just sounds like messing around--but for the most part the sense of glee in vigorous sound making for cranky and rebellious ends is infectious. [Aug 2010, p.86]

A ramshackle beast largely informed by the tension between the pair's aforementioned psychedelic styles.
