"One of the more unique power pop albums due to the influence of quirky new wave and experimental pop. Stamey seems to be the band's driving force regarding creativity, but Holsapple's conventional tunes are just as impressive."  Reply

"A fantastic collection of Ellington compositions. It's a shame jazz musicians didn't make true albums back then because his work would have been perfect for that format."  Reply

"A fun change of pace for the band, with yet another fresh and original concept. The unmistakable beauty of The River is an effort that only King Gizzard can produce in such a beautiful and unique way."  Reply

"Gotta say after listening to this again now I'm enjoying it even more haha. Misunderstood album perhaps? I feel like it was. I think it's pretty cool. These guys got made fun of so much back then, gosh if only they had a different name maybe."  Reply

"I never got the proto-black metal stuff. Sounds pretty much like a thrash-metal album with cool riffs and great use of tempo changes without being technical. Maybe the tempo changes could be similar to what death-metal bands tend to more often than thash, but I do not hear the black metal stuff. ..."  [+]  Reply
