"This is an underrated album. It's often considered forgettable, but I think this is a pretty consistent album in terms of the quality of the tracks.

"The jury is still out on this one. There are some real classic tracks like Index, Deform To Form A Star and Raider II, but the question remaining is should Mr Wilson have consolidated this onto a single disc by removing some of the tracks?" Reply
"Critically acclaimed band that has missed the public adoration they deserve. This their debut album is probably most deserving of classic status. It is a mid 90s lo fi quirky indie classic. Very much an album about weekend drug taking and small town fun.The Fuzzy guitars help set the tone. They h..." [+] Reply

"Kudos to Cypress Hill. They had a complete original sound of their own with this debut album. Fantastic grooves with a slight heavy overtone. How can you not love it? How can you not groove to it? Top class." Reply

"I think this album anticipates a lot of the ostentatiously produced folk music that would become super popular in the last chunk of the decade, which is pretty interesting considering just who it is we're talking about here.
