    This is a n intriguing mini epic of double-drummed grooves and skronking noise. [Jan 2015, p.131]

    The resultant 37-minute piece is atypical of wither band's work, aiming for something more freeform. And meandering.... Still, when it hinges together, Words absolves itself. [Dec 2014, p.80]

    It's a tense, fierce, relentless piece that delivers sections of quiet space, brutal groove, and beautiful cacophony. But, like looking at a sculpture online or watching a prerecorded broadcast of a play, the element of danger and excitement is lost without the heat, sweat, and movement of a live performance.

    Words rarely coheres into a legible sequence of rhythms or melodies, rarely evolves into more than textural noodling and atmospheric energy.

    That free-form fury is a critique of the tendency to look for precise meaning in music, thereby devaluing the visceral and the emotional. But the most menacing part is the words uttered at the beginning.
