"It's the most animated Ubu has been in ages, with an atmosphere of vertiginous dark energy accreting around the jagged guitar riff of "Red Eyed Blues", while even the slower, more subdued melancholia of "The Healer" wields a strangely sinister poignancy as a desolate Thomas regretfully confesses, "I see too much". But what visions!".

"It's interesting that Pere Ubu, among the most forward-looking bands of the mid-70s, sound much the same in 2017 as they did 40 years ago. Despite their pre/proto-punk origins, their instantly-recognisable sound is full of traits usually considered post-punk; jerky/sinuous/angular rock with thin/spectral synths and David Thomas' yelping vocal providing a focal point. It's a sound that, partly through their influence, was there as an alternative even at the height of punk, through bands as unalike as Devo, Wire and Magazine ... Pere Ubu remain as paradoxical as ever".
