Reviews8 out of 10 - "...An emotionally stirring achievement....camping out around a couple of notes, chugging leisurely...toward a cacophonous climax...", 3 out of 5 - "...Impressively ambitious and stupefyingly pompous, it's the perfect antidote to such lickspittle reactionary fripperies as fun or sex.", Ranked #16 in Nme's "Top 50 Albums of the Year"., "...This isn't your father's prog....An exquisitely constructed sound with a sharp punk edge and an anarchist's ear for chaos. High-concept in a Moby kind of way...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Orchestral rock elegies...laced with glockenspiels and violins, and bolstered by thunderous drums and scalding guitars....compelling...", "...Evokes thundering waves, sky-shattering storms and other preternatual events of Biblical proportions...", Included in Magnet's "20 Best Albums of 2000" - "...The music on this double album is very nearly larger than life...", "...They disperse through snippets of Coney Island nostalgia, a shopgirl peptalk, an infirm preacher and an ill-tempered, indeterminate buzz drowning in poorly tuned radio static...The improvising...falling within the beat parameters...", 9 out of 10 - "...Extraordinarily powerful and beautiful music....It's a world where ever-spiraling crescendos are detonated by 9 musicians...", Included in Q's "50 Heaviest Albums of All Time".
