    Visions of Us on the Land is the poignant and musically profound end of a stunning trilogy. How Damien Jurado connects himself with his characters and lets their vision both gather momentum as awaken in pure beauty shows his talent as a musician. Without effort he alternates psychedelic and impenetrable sounds with acoustic gems, to link together different layers of music with the synths.Visions of Us on the Land is the poignant and musically profound end of a stunning trilogy. How Damien Jurado connects himself with his characters and lets their vision both gather momentum as awaken in pure beauty shows his talent as a musician. Without effort he alternates psychedelic and impenetrable sounds with acoustic gems, to link together different layers of music with the synths. The attention and status he earns as a musician has not been given to him yet, but with the emotional and poetic songs he receives something much more valuable, his dream world Maraqopa. 8/10

    Visions of Us on the Land may not be the most surprising of the trilogy, from a listener’s standpoint, but it is certainly the most assured.

    It's an intense and trippy odyssey, one that should make fans old and new appreciative of Jurado's depth while mulling along.

    With bountiful sonic and lyrical left turns that are full of adventure, mystery, and soul-searching, Jurado completes his vision for the trilogy in grand fashion.
