    It is more than the sum of its many parts, as the Warlocks whip up a '60s of the imagination, making you hear the sounds anew while resurrecting the old before your very eyes.
  2. Playlouder

    Like Spiritualized re-scored and re-scripted by Timothy Leary, something inescapably dark, dread ridden and mesmeric lurks within these tracks.
  3. Uncut

    Occup[ies] the same sonic territory as The Dandy Warhols' underrated Come Down. [Aug 2003, p.108]

  5. The Wire

    It's on tracks like the ethereal, 15 minute "Oh Shadie" where the group's acid washed sound really takes off. [#232, p.74]

  6. Dusted Magazine
    70
    A solid 64 minutes of cavernous drumming, propulsive, grating guitars and cotton-mouthed moans.
