Reviews"...builds up discreetly in layers and mostly build in no apparent direction....music that refutes the idea that music could be for anything....one of the most gently perplexing records ever made. It doesn't explain what the fuss is for, but it certainly gets you wondering about it.", Included in Wire's "50 Records of the Year 1998in, "Weirdly beautiful and impossible to pin down, TNT was a fulcrum, a place where the musical values of the past met the digital future.", "...Deeper, denser, and more ethereal than 1996's MILLION NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE, TNT continues the band's Ennio Morricone-meets-Can hallucination stew, perfecting their wistful melodies and fusion drumming into dreamy epic soundtracks...", "...With walking bass lines and reverberating snare drums, Tortoise bring the noise throughout the album...", 4 stars out of 5 - "TNT is a masterpiece: not at all avant-garde, just an hour of wonderful and timeless music."
