"While technically a compilation, BTP succeeds because it does not stick to a standard format, mixing up the songs from each volume so that the thing runs as a whole, not a series of separate parts stood end-to-end. Not only skilled craftsmen, Grails are good sequencers, too, setting the album as incidental music to a low-budget and increasingly perverse art film to be played inside the listener's mind as they listen".

"Delving into post-production techniques in a way they'd missed earlier on, the Black Tar Prophecies series became a vehicle for rampant experimentation for Grails, and Vols. 4, 5 & 6 shows the band easing into deeper phases of production-heavy exploration. The sprawling set is made up of 2010's Vol. 4, songs from a 2012 split with Pharaoh Overlord, plus three previously unreleased tunes comprising Vol. 6. Presented in the context of a full-length album, these disparate tracks actually work better than as piecemeal segments spanning several miscellaneous releases".
