Ranked #11 in Mojo's "The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time" - "ZAIREEKA is one of the Lips' finest records. In its original format, it's nothing short of a psychedelic masterpiece...", Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - "An intended fusion of 'anarchy and inspiration,' musically this was the Lips at their mind-melding zonk rock pinnacle...", 3 Stars Out of 5-"...The Effect Is both Thrilling and Unsettling...", 10 (out of 10) - "...even by the Flaming Lips' synapse-searing standards, ZAIREEKA is a tatanic, bedazzled trip to the furthest reaches of the imagination....the Flaming Lips have released arguably their most beautiful music....To reiterate: a work of genius.", "...Expensive, Odd, but Impressive IF You Get It to Work.", "...the Oklahoma quartet has placed the various components of ZAIREEKA's eight songs onto four CDs, ideally to be played simultaneously on four separate stereos....Whether human anatomy is equipped to handle octophonic sound is anyone's guess." - Rating: A, 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...ZAIREEKA's wall-of-surround-sound approach melds droning-rock dissonance with warped, off-kilter pop melodies, producing a totally immersing, post-PET SOUNDS seance...", "...Dense, Catchy Walls of Sound That Just Happen to Be Emanating from Eight Speakers..."
