A must-have item for collectors and die-hards, this is also good for casual fans that may not have all the classic songs in their collection.- Blurt Magazine

Lovingly named after Rod Serling's cult post-Twilight Zone program and, in all intents and purposes, is just as thrilling.- Blurt Magazine

A tripped-out masterpiece of transcendental space fuzz that pays tribute to the ruins of Italy that goes beyond the headiest moments of Pink Floyd's legendary performance inside of that coliseum in Pompeii.- Blurt Magazine

The rock instruments--drums, keyboards and guitar--set the framework, but it's the chamber music instrument that blows the doors down.- Blurt Magazine

The operatics of her voice make it the most intriguing instrument on the album but the new exploration of violins and cellos that feminize the massive drum fills make Conatus even more astounding.- Blurt Magazine

Some of his best work, however, comes under the guise of his own name, as is the case with Crow's new album, He Thinks He's People.- Blurt Magazine

Isaak has somehow managed to make the homage almost as enjoyable as the originals. Almost.- Blurt Magazine

An entertaining album that follows no musical rules, a record interconnected by one common denominator--that there happily isn't one.- Blurt Magazine

Clearly not one to mess with, this confident, compelling outing suggests she can hold her own even within the top tier of alt-country's rowdier women.- Blurt Magazine

This is an elegant product of hard work and musicianship that shouldn't be dismissed because it is not entirely new material.- Blurt Magazine

"Det Hester!" and "Dresinen" vary the formula a bit with, respectively, squelchy synth-bass and fuzzy electric guitar, while the album-closing "Aldri Ska Me Ha Det Goy" is a oozing slo-mo ballad that layers Endresen's vocals to suggest The Four Seasons Sing Pet Sounds.- Blurt Magazine

Dreams Come True will certainly appeal to anyone who enjoys their new wave artful and avant-garde, both of which are delivered in spades across this exceptional LP that will surely be lost on many Grizzly Bear fans looking for an extension of their sonic safety net.- Blurt Magazine

Mostly it's hard to say what puts Veronica Falls over the top in a genre where so many fall flat. Enthusiasm? Personality? Songs? Probably all of that, as well as the indefinable quality that makes old genres come alive again.- Blurt Magazine

Robert Earl Keen is a master storyteller who blends acoustic, nylon and steel guitar with solid percussion and his pure, distinct voice into the finest Americana has to offer.- Blurt Magazine

Yet aside from that one cut, Megafaun's self-titled album seamlessly integrates an easy-going tuneful-ness with a nearly mystical devotion to tone and texture.- Blurt Magazine

The last song, a sparse electric guitar ballad, identifies another dualism: it's called "Get It Wrong, Get It Right," and like most of the rest of this unsettled album, it gets it right.- Blurt Magazine
