"The definitive Stoner/Desert Metal band. Very even keel and consistent right through. An unmistakable sound and style of their own. Great album." Reply
"Unusual for me to appreciate this style of music, but there's something about Tankian's delivery here that gets me into his riffs and soft/loud/soft variance. I wouldn't play this repeatedly at any time - but it's good for a listen from time to time." Reply

"Absolutely the best album on the earth. The story, instruments, artists, lyrics, in every way. This is a true masterpiece." Reply
"60 to 70/100 (This is a very impressive collection of many cool individual ideas and songs of distinct type that somehow never forms into a very cohesive whole. Still, some really cool songs and really interesting mix of styles, just somehow the whole is less than the sum of its parts - or howeve..." [+] Reply

"It's definitely a worthwhile listen, but I'm not convinced that it's as great as any of its predecessors. "Matangi" is practically as chaotic as its highly underrated predecessor "MAYA", but it lacks the diverse, sonic innovation of that album. It also lacks the fascinating political subtext of A..."
