    The result is an often joyously multi-hued meeting of minds, mixing the duo’s initial no-nonsense nods to The Troggs/Stooges with glitter-band swagger, splashes of psychedelia and the subconscious eruptions of Haines’ ingenious lyrics. [Jul 2025, p.100]

    The result is like two rock esotericists in a bunker alchemising to compelling effect. [Sep 2025, p.84]

    It’s a pleasing touch that, even with a megastar like Buck present, Haines never dilutes his vision – this concluding part of the Haines/Buck trilogy is as satisfyingly off-kilter as its predecessors.

    Going Down To The River … To Blow My Mind works well enough that one hopes they'll change their minds about this being the end of their trilogy.
