"Misfit country songwriter Sturgill Simpson may have changed his performing name, but he continues the lush country-soul he pioneered back on his Sailor's Guide to Earth album. Excellent! Track: What If the Sun Never Rises Again"  Reply

"this was like...a new kind of rock..I mean..maybe isn't even rock. It has drums, electric guitar, yes..but the way there is no tension/release working (only tension) places it in a different world. Well, OF COURSE it's rock, but one with a unique aesthetics"  Reply

"Tracks 2 and 4 are the sickest sci-fi dark progressive music I've ever heard. Puts Tool to shame. Completely groundbreaking music. The other 4 real songs are really cool too. Some filler on the album unfortunately."  Reply

"I think this has to be my favourite JMJ album. I listened to the tape for hours driving up and down motorways some 30 years ago! I recently got this on vinyl re-issue although I still have the tape.
