"Sit back...and we'll pour you a drink!"

"Welcome, tired and weary shopper, to the innermost sanctoms of rock and roll. Put your feet up, and let Anton and his wandering retinue of minstrels delight your senses with the greatest rock and roll album made in the lat 20 years. The Morning After Girls, The High Dials, and the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are the titans of today's rock movement. But even these elite few worship at the feet of this venerable sage. There can be no comparison, ye, for this is art of the highest caliber!

This is the best BJM record

"All of BJM's records are excellent but this one is my favorite. The songs are memorable, dreamy, evocative. The mood is a bit somber, and the production appropriately moody. This one tends to favor acoustics a bit over electrics, and has a less hard-rocking sounds than Give it Back or some of the others, but each song is a gem. There is no filler, there are no mediocre tunes."
Cool as God

"This band doesn't ride the waves of the many pathetic and short-lived musical fads that have dominated the last 15 years of mainstream music. And it is this rejection of the increasingly parasitic mainstream musical culture that will leave this band's music strong and unwavering against the relentless wind of time and change. Forget your fast food, quick fix band's like `Jet'; this is the Brian Jonestown Massacre! Bravery, Repetition and Noise contains some of the bands strongest work. Some of these songs you simply cannot explain in words. It is not derivative in any sense...it is an absolutely original take on modern music. Nevertheless is a near pefect song, as are many on this album. Telegram is another highlight...but the listener must listen and experience this album. It is more than a collection of songs. It is a body of beautiful sound and must be experienced in the same way that an informed listener may experience something like 'Abbey Road' or 'Magical Mystery Tour', except this is better."
