"I was sceptical when I first went into this album as I wasn't sure if the group could capture the same magic they had on their record they released this year but I was very quickly proven wrong.

"Talking to cat's, breakdowns in a tent, asking your doctor what their favourite band is, and worrying about the minutae of day-to-day life constitute the lyrical preoccupation's of this album. However, it is not sweetly sung, rather screamed, howled, and shouted whilst a roiling sea of noise swir..." [+] Reply

"A combination of the neko heard on "blacklisted" and "fox confessor brings the flood" is on display here. "people got a lot of nerve" and "this tornado loves you" might just be the best 2 songs from any album. This album shows many sides to neko, from the poetic side "I'm an owl on the sill in th..."

"Trippy as hell. The first track is one of the absolute trippiest things I've ever had. The whole thing's got a whole disorienting, low-fi quality to it. Very special album. Blew my mind when I first listened to it." Reply

"It lumbers out literally with a mostly-uninteresting "shanty for the arethusa", but after that, there's no let up. "billy liar" is a jaunty farce starting "Billy Liar's got his hands in his pockets / Staring over at the neighbor's, knickers down." Sarcastic ode "los angeles, i'm yours" backhanded..." [+] Reply

"The starting albums of Mark II, Mark III, and Mark IV are all not given enough credit, each one bringing a new burst of energy to the band. Tommy Bolin brings a fresh guitar attack, and there's hardly a weak song on the album. Stronger than Who Do We Think We are." Reply
"The pressure was on to produce a classic album following the success of The Grand Illusion. While this album doesn't quite reach the heights of TGI, it is still very worthy of a Top 100 position. The second side of the album is filled with one great track after another. The first side is a bit we..." [+] Reply
