    While there’s plenty of self-indulgent noodling (God Is In The Rhythm; the final section of Infinite Rise) compensation comes with their adventurous spirit.

    A great concept, but there aren't enough ideas here to prevent it running out of steam. [Jul 2015, p.108]

    Quarters four 10-minute jams allow them instead to indulge their more experimental side. [Jul 2015, p.77]

    Least Favourite Songs: Infinite Rise
    Every listen of this was great, it was really relaxing and it just made me feel really happy (the vibes were real.) The 4 tracks play out more like jams than written songs but again the vibes were real I didn't give a **** It starts off with a strong jazz sound, which pops up a couple more times throughout the record, and then goes into their usual fuzzy psych-pop sound with minimal vocals; the only memorable vocal part is on 'God Is On The Rhythm' which had a really sweet melody going. Every song being 10:10 is kind of cool but it's really obvious they just added in 20 seconds of noises at the end of the middle tracks to make them 10:10. I like the random sounds though because I'm a simpleton and it doesn't take much to please me.
