    Spills Out is a satisfying album that puts a unique spin on otherwise trite indie-pop touchstones and a marriage of dissonance and charm seamless enough that, at times, it's almost difficult to tell one from the other.

    Pterodactyl's sound most figuratively Spills Out. Drink up and enjoy.

    Thing start out Brooklyn Noise rock, but the second half of the album gets downright Nuggets-worthy. [Oct 2011, p.102]

    It takes a session of attentive listening to pinpoint it; zone out for a few seconds and it's easy for one track of grit, fuzz and tension to bleed into another.

    A little has been lost in Pterodactyl's act of translating itself into a pop band--but overall, Spills Out manages to keep it all in.

    Though much of Spills Out seems to zip by in a blur, it's assembled with enough care to never quite spin out from its center.
