"Having purchased this cd thinking it was the Japanese experimental band Ghost (as written even here!), I was a little disappointed to discover that it is actually the NY band The Ghost. This is probably great stuff for those into more hardcore music, but if you're looking for the elongated noises of psychedelic soundscapes created by the Japanese group, keep looking!"
This is A Hospital- The Ghost

"How could someone not love this CD? Clearly the guys from The Ghost are musically inclined, and songs like By the Books and Red Slippers, Red Wheels never get old. I am literally a Ghost addict; this album hasn't left my CD player in a really long time. Originality is one of the most obvious characteristics of this band. Props to Hanalei and the rest of the Ghost for making kick-ass music."

"The best album I've heard in a loooong time. They picked up the pieces of my heart (which broke when ATDI and the Pumpkins broke up) and put it back together. If your a fan of At The Drive-In, you'd definately love this band. You can hear a lot of influences in The Ghost, from hardcore, to blues, to classic rock, to noisy, badas* punk. They nail the best part of each influence and paste it together in a great post-punk album. Alternative Press compared them to Bush (to which they replied that felt like getting kicked in the head). I think they sound more like Hardcore and punk meets Elvis Costello. Support these guys so they can keep making albums this good."
