Press
- "Exploded country/acid/space rock" –
- "It takes a special band to put out two worthwhile double-CDs in consecutive years, let alone two that are thrilling and confounding in equal measure, and markedly different from each other...there's a rewarding sort of triumphant weariness in every dense song, a primal spirit that's missing from nearly all of the soulless dreck poising as rock today. For the rock-starved, its a record full of woolly mysteries to lose oneself in" –
- "The results can be self-indulgent at times, but theyre also feral in a way that's as rare as steak tartare. Roots rock will never be the same" –
- "Grandpa's Ghost are going right for the throat this time, kids. This two-disc set is an all-out assault on the senses, with a furious feast of feedback a la Neil Youngs Arc/Weld. There's a dash or two of early Sonic Youth here; hell, there's some Metal Machine Music-like moments" –
- "A double album that fascinates and frazzles, a crazy-quilt sonic pastiche of pretty acoustic shimmer, feral hardcore, twisted psychedelia and experimental roots rock" –
