"Neil's twenty-sixth studio album, and the first after a career-longest 4 year break. He used the time wisely apparently, as this was as strong a record as post Harvest Moon Neil would put out. This was also Neil looking backward, reliving his years with Buffalo Springfield and even recording some..." [+] Reply

"(A new, slower, more world-weary and soulful Iceage has immerged with this one. And...its stunning and brilliant. Some of the best rock music of the year of any style or sub-genre.

"Probably his strongest release, though as with all his work, could do with just a tad more polish. Operation is his best song, a true gem in his catalogue." Reply
"No indie dance album will make you groove all the way through it like Music for Men by Gossip. Nearly all the elements are there: The lead vocalist will shake you to the bone. The backing band keeps a steady groove, with just the right amount of synths and studio magic, and a hefty dose of post-p..." [+] Reply
"First listen impressions: I kinda feared it would be terrible. Fortunately, it isn't.

"Simply put, Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T. sounds like it was recorded by psychotics in a derelict asylum — expect a lot of screaming, scraping, metallic sounds, rhythms that sound more primal and scary than anything, lyrics which are like nightmares (one of them literally is the recollection of ..."
