"I remember Alan Bangs playing versions of Fever in a Radio show once. Many good ones. But Tumor I liked best. But this does not even begin to try to be on one level with her version of Mission Impossible. Simply the best dancing song of all time."  Reply

"Keith Jarrett and Jan Garbarek, unbeatable combination on this swinging output! A blueprint for Steely Dan's Gaucho? Great similarity on one track! An extraordinary recording with excellent musicians."  Reply

"Too High to Die is the breakthrough record from the Meat Puppets (Curt and Cris Kirkwood and Derrick Bostrom). It is easily the most accessible to the casual listener, their most cohesive project, the best they have ever sounded in the studio, and their strongest set of songs. They find some foot..."  [+]  Reply

"A journey through sound and wonders. Easily one of favorite albums. When music is related to events of your life it really takes its power. I'm not able to listen to it anymore, but great work. If you life the soft side of Sigur Ros and ambient music, this is for you."  Reply

"It keeps getting better everytime I listen to it. How well this cutesy voice pairs with these complex Math Rock compositions is impressive. Need to listen to their other albums ASAP"  Reply

"It's very difficult to label this album (and this band): is it experimental or straight rock; is it electro or rock, is it Sonic Youth or Stereolab, is it tongue-in-cheek or dead-serious, etc etc. Well the end conclusion is that I like this album a lot in all its forms. And the perfect song to il..."  [+]  Reply

"Great compilation. Hard to condense only so many songs into one album from a library that could of easily filled another whole album of epic tracks. But what's on this is well deserved. An essential for those who can't be bothered with the studio albums"  Reply
