Press
- "Grandpa's Ghost created the only regional rock release in recent memory that could honestly be called a work of art. They find the beauty in chaos and in calm, in clamor and quiet. A masterpiece". –
- "Certain sequences of the bands passage may remind me (or you) of second album moves by the Meat Puppets, or Kris Kringle, or Pink Floyd, but the exquisite excess of their root-sound is unique and unparalleled." –
- "Grandpa's Ghost, an Illinois group operating without a safety net, whose willfully drawn-out experimentation co-exists with the distorted guitars and lonesome whine of psychedelicized Country rock...deeply fried" –
- "This record is equally primitive and complicated, socially vocal and muted and sonicly silent and dense. Weighing in at over 75 minutes this epic transcends time and emotion" –
