"Seattle's Engine Kid start off mellow, with Windshield, then erupt. Each song starts out with either tripped-out laziness or abstract heaviness, drifts off for at least 4 mins., then explodes in a whirlwind of mesmerizing drum tempoes and off-beat harmonics. The vocals range from spoken, to softly sung, to harsh screaming. The singer/guitarist Greg Anderson can be foung nowadays in Goatsnake. A masterpiece.Read WOMBAT VENGEANCE."

"I've had this album for years. bought it for 50p, that's about 80 cents!! It's just plain weird in places, though still listenable - if only to see what they'll do next. Stitches practically had me in tears, it's so damn perfect. On an album that seems to want to alienate the listener, it provides the ties that bind everything together. The production seems lazy but is actually very focused, lending an intense quality. I just don't feel that they fully realised what they intended to with this record, a subsequent record would've filled in the blanks I'm sure. Amazing, pulverising, unpredictable. Just listen to it in the dark, I dare you."

"This album combines a very dynamic range of rock music. From very quiet and mellow, leading into intense heavy guitar energy. Cutting edge at the very least. Excellent drummer!"
