"The recording project of former hardcore kid M.C. Taylor (see Ex-Ignota) ... Here, his world-weary meditations - on God, demons and, yeah, debt - sound ancient, pulled out of the dirt, yet as immediate as a foreclosure. It's lean music for lean times".

"Bad Debt may strike some listeners as mere demos, yet there is nothing missing from these performances, no sense of potential left untapped. These songs sound full and finished even in their austerity. Even so, a deep sense of uncertainty pervades every syllable and every strum, as though no question can ever be answer satisfactorily, and it is precisely that spiritual disaffection that separates Taylor from the artists for whom God's existence and benevolence are givens. Rather than cynical or despairing, however, Bad Debt sounds hopeful, exuding a sense of hushed celebration".
