"what the hell did i just listen to!? it's weird, as alluded by the title (and that creepy album art). but it's strangely captivating. i need to listen again a couple of times. this is either a new favorite or, er, do i even know? it's bizarre. that is a sure thing." Reply

"Strong debut. Extremely samey...the entire album feels like one long, brooding, intimately honest song (a vast majority of these tracks have an extremely similar structure and tempo), but it works. There are a few casualties due to the overarching sound (some of these tracks are very forgettable ..." [+] Reply

"Their classic album and brilliant introduction to the warped perfectionism of Lawrence Felt. As well as All the People I Like Are Those That Are Dead, A Wave Crashed on Rocks, and Hours of Darkness Have Changed My Mind are highlights." Reply

"A pretty good rollicking hard rock debut. Strutter is excellent, Nothin' to Lose and Deuce are very strong. The inclusion of Love Theme from Kiss remains a mystery as it almost kills the album with two tracks to go." Reply

"Looking to discover some great music from 2001 I checked out ‘ Comfort Eagle’ and was pleasantly surprised... this album goes alright. So Short Skirt Long Jacket is the obvious reference point here but it’s far from the best thing here with ‘ Commissioning A Symphony In C ‘ and ‘ Comfort Eagle ‘ ..." [+] Reply

"One of the forgotten masterpieces of the 1970s. Fay's songwriting here is on par with the likes of contemporaries like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon. The influence it has had on Wilco is impossible to overlook." Reply

"All songs are a real sound experience. My favorites are: State of the Art andSomebody that I Used To Know. In your light and I feel better are the weakest songs on the album, but they are fine too." Reply

"I enjoyed this album a lot. It may be not as good as Loveless or Ride's Nowhere, but it's a very good shoegazing record. It's a consistent album, there is not a low point here, it's energetic, fun and dreamy at the same time. It's recommended to any shoegazing fans. My track picks are: 'I Want to..." [+] Reply

"Jazz, soul, funk, disco, electronics. Fusion. All this merges and solidifies along what is probably the most ambitious project of Thundercat. Bass lines take you on a journey of rhythms ranging from dizzying extroversion to dark zigzagging. The Stoic title suggests a work thought under the improv..." [+] Reply
