[I]t is great, a reminder of what's still fascinating about the electric guitar. If you need a clear, clean refreshing blast of the basics, distortion is definitely truth.
-Nick Reynolds, BBC radio
At the same time as Poss's avant-garde experiments transform the guitar and open up new possibilities for the instrument, he doesn't completely forsake some of its more traditional sounds.
-Wilson Neate, Dusted
This is highly innovative and highly melodic music for the experimental set. This is art, this is noise, this is feedback, this is blowing apart conventions, this is damn good songwriting. The guitar love affair continues and things just seem to be heating up.
-Jonah Flicker, Lost At Sea
Whether riding resonating crests or layering light sounds of strums and hums, Robert Poss' emotive directions are equally moving and exciting.
-SK, Free Williamsburg
What all the tracks have in common is Poss’ love of texture, tone, timbre, whatever you wish to call it, in all its variety….These CDs both ranked among my favorite albums of 2002.
-Steve Holtje, The Big Takeover
…Guitar genius, drone meister and ex-Band Of Susans member…Robert Poss is the master of treated and manipulated guitars along with distorted drum machines and synths.
-Larry Crane, Tape Op
Anyone under the impression that Sonic Youth were/are/could very well be the kings of six string overkill never crossed paths with Band Of Susans. What a glorious din of guitars, loops, wires and pedals that was….Chief Susan, real name Robert Poss, plugs back in to rekindle that old amp magic.
-Thrust
GREAT! Ranging from wonderfully twangy ambient textures to dancey post-punk songs, this album is a fantastic retrospective of solo experiments from Band of Susans guitarist Robert Poss, a punk rocker who discovered John Cage and minimalism.
-KZSU Zookeeper Online
…[A]n ADD-friendly hodgepodge of compelling fabrics, raw feedback, and driving noise….
