| A triumphant, inspirational, tightly-knit concept album throughout every dimension -- philosophically, lyrically, intellectually, emotionally, structurally, technically, melodically, you name it. Totally uncompromising in its own self-referential world of heavy, groovy, gritty, erudite, time-related awesomeness. |

| Nothing left to say about this album that hasn't already been said, except to reconfirm that it's really the real deal. So raw and personal and angular in its precision. A beautifully intense work of confrontational art taking itself as seriously as possible. |
