David Keenan says:
"New solo album from Thurston is his best non-group effort to date, with some lucid songwriting illuminated by a killer group that features Christina Carter (Charalambides), Steve Shelley, Gown, J.Mascis, John Moloney (Sunburned Hand Of The Man) and Leslie Keffer. The duets with Christina are particularly unearthly while the inclusion of some early homemade sound poetry, old letters to Creem and classy pics of Thurston as a kid chilling to Metal Machine Music and Horses are just so much gravy. It still kinda bums me out that alla the square mainstream reviews are championing this album for its "lack of skronk" - I mean, if you're not into skronk, why the fuck do you listen to rock music in the first place? - but regardless of the kind of flags that dopes might wanna plant in its ass, this is a great record that has been getting a ton of spins at VT HQ of late."
