"It took several listens to come to this conclusion, but this is Of Montreal's second-best album, after "Hissing Fauna". The hyperpersonal freak-out era is over and the band is making accessible music again, albeit with their own perverse sensibilities and a dash of '60s jangle pop." Reply

"not the best deftones album. definitely something for every fan though. You can tell the band had some internal issues during the long process the album took to make" Reply
"Heard this for the first time in Feb 19 having heard and loved their Sophtware Slump the month before. I like this sound with a nod to Flaming Lips" Reply
"authentic and native heavy metal album. if you like this kind of music (pure heavy metal), you will adore this one quite likely. dio has a fantastic hardrock voice - maybe the best? imo much more intense than judas priest's shot." Reply

"A fantastic jazz fusion album that really stunned me on first listen and I have been hooked ever since. The performances on this album are just amazing and some of the solos on here are just astounding. Every instrument seems to be played so well and each has their own individual moment to shine...."
