“...a crawling, primordial sludge jam…” - Loudwire


“Working With God is both awesome and hilarious.” - Decibel


“... chunky…” - Metal Injection


“...it’s the kind of noise-sludge-punk amalgamation you’d expect from the early Melvins lineup…” - Consequence of Sound


"Has ties to the heavier side of their 90s major label stint, but the majority of it beams with surf rock, twisted doo-wop, demented children's music and lots of fucking around as one might expect." - Metal Hammer
