    Contrasting bleak truths with giddy popsike, bubbling defiance and a rebuff to arts-funding BS. [Jul 2024, p.95]

    These are distressed, in-limbo songs. Their unlikely latter-day alliance with Dave Fridmann adds poignantly lavish flourishes and echoing space-age keyboards to the dead-end punk tattoo of “I Don’t Fucking Know What I’m Gunna Do” and monotone monologue and suffocating synths of “Nothing/Everything”. [Jul 2024, p.35]

    Overall, the album is a fine addition to the Lovely Eggs’ ever-expanding nest of acid punk, and Ross’ emotional refrain on “I Am Gaia” perhaps best encapsulates Eggsistentialism: “When you tell the crowd you’re broken, and they clap for more.”
