Industry Reviews 4 Stars - Excellent - ...Despite his chiseled writing, Kramer speaks loudest with his Stratocaster. Riffs drop out of the mix like blockbusters; random squawks and guttural honks burp throughout his hardscrabble tales....At 46, Kramer is one motherf***** who can still kick out the jams... New Musical Express (1/14/95, p.38) - 8 - Excellent - ...a startlingly diverse collection of high-tension, post-punk passions, spoken word atmospherics, fretboard gymnastics and stark reminiscence, all drenched in the cream of '90s hardcore...preposterously good... Rolling Stone (03/23/1995)
