    It’s not a light listen, that’s a given, and Frye’s perplexing outlook on everything is the record’s only consistency over nine tracks. But those open-minded enough to explore Frye’s dystopian world of disgust and despair will find themselves ultimately wearing a shit-eating grin by the time it’s all over.

    Social Rust proves that real experimentation does not require impenetrability at every turn.

    Frequently the music here sounds unhinged and stretched out to the limits of endurance, but it's exactly this lack of sanitisation that makes this such a thrilling listen. [Jan 2015, p.129]

    The album is too overbearing to be much fun and too paint-by-the-numbers to feel dangerous.

    It's a scuzzy Swans-like behemoth. [Oct 2014, p.77]
