    this cd is so utterly overated it leaves me befuddled why it is so acclaimed. this cd is horrible, i literally laugh when i listen to this. Spend your hard-earned money on Four Tet's "Rounds" instead if you want some illmatic, listenable electronic music

    There hasn't been a song-oriented psychedelic album that's had this sort of life-affirming, full-bodied roar since Mercury Rev's 1993 classic, Boces. [June 2003, p.110]
  2. Uncut

    Both adventurous and accessible, a record in love with the obliterating power of sound. [Apr 2003, p.120]

    Once again, Snaith has surprised just about everyone, and Up In Flames will likely go down as one of my favorite albums of the year.
