Reviews
"The 12-minute track 'Like Herod' introduces a sleepy, rolling guitar figure, which later erupts into a screeching opus of distorted, cresting guitar blasts. Such dynamic contrasts offer the record's most riveting moments...", "...Mogwai fashion raw electricity into gravity-heavy melodies of impossibly sad sweetness....with massive amounts of distortion.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "When, for example, 'Like Herod''s slow beats and furtive guitars explode into feedbacking rock action, this is music as continual mood swing...", "A series of scathing, violent, beautiful, poignant and majestic instrumentals, it combined the attitude of punk with inspirational dynamics and pathos."
