"A thoroughly, and at times willfully, strange effort from Devendra Banhart and a motley cast of artists from his loose collective of freak folk artists, Cripple Crow is probably Banhart's strongest effort (though I'd give honorable mentions to What Will We Be and Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon)..."

"It's absolutely criminal that "The Lighting of the Beacons" was only included in the extended version of the soundtrack. Otherwise, this condensed version is wonderful. Howard Shore's score was absolutely essential to making the Lord of the Rings trilogy into the epic it became." Reply

"This little-known Australian prog-metal band shows some tenacity on an album that really should be more widely recognised but unfortunately isn't.
