"Like their other albums, I don't entirely understand whats going on, but I think its amazing none the less. I actually find it kind of funny, as the Boredoms do their own impression of the whole "cock rock" thing"  Reply

"Another great album from Jens, easily on a par with his last offering, even if not quite as thrillingly uplifting and beautiful as his first two records. Interesting arrangements and unconventional song structures make his already great songwriting even more compelling."  Reply

"This is a pretty special Springsteen record because it both sounds like it waas done very fast and also was done very fast. All good songs apart from the big muddy and souls of the departed but it feels like the album never aims to the top like most other of this mans work."  Reply

"This was like nothing I had ever heard. Mossiman's playing was like sledgehammer. Gira was the singer I didn't want to be because his world sonded so terrifying. I loved the danger of this album."  Reply
