“...difficult and perplexing listen but beautiful and rewarding at the same time” — Kyle Bunkin
“Cudi articulates a sense of alienation vis-a-vis hip-hop, mass culture, and life in general over languorous, Sudafed-soaked melodies and bleak beats punctuated with distorted guitar riffs and melancholy orchestral hums.” — Stereo Subversion
“...throwing on your earbuds and listening to this album will make you forget all about the cold” — Letters Home From Camp
“...a fantastic collection of layered instruments and voice, building in both sound and intensity.” — Where? Wear? Ware? House
“Andy Hull spits some fantastic prose and flawlessly switches from charming sincerity to disturbing anguish at the drop of a hat.” — Get Fresh.
“Huge without being silly, atmospheric without being limpid, it's just booming, thundering neo-shoegazer of the finest variety.” — Central Target
