"Yes it’s over very quickly, but my God, who could withstand much more adrenaline soaked sonic brutality! The best record ever crafted to whip young men into a bloodthirsty frenzy."  Reply

"Fantastic band! Mark Speer is one of the most talented guitarists I've seen in recent years. People Everywhere and Dern Kala are the highlights on this one, and I encourage you to go watch a live performance of them on YouTube, you will not be disappointed."  Reply

"22 years in the making! Huge surprise finding out about this comeback album by Hum. It's really good! Its a more epic version of themselves. Like a darker more progressive version of themselves."  Reply

"'Mirror Man' is the sound of The Magic Band at it's most deliberately shambolic and free. Long 'live' rambling jams extend the notion of the Blues standard to its limits.

"I think that this album tries to replicate the success of Eliminator by replicating event the song patters so well done, but without much success.
