"Merzbow's contributions are predictably cacophonous, yet easy to get lost in, such is the intricacy of the soundscapes he creates. The big pay-off comes when the two sections of the album are played together. Merzbow's creations add a new dimension to Boris' material, so the whole thing sounds apocalyptic and huge".

"Though each disc can be enjoyed separately (and should be) like the show that inspired them, they were cut to be played simultaneously. Individual volume levels/weights are left to the listener's determination. No matter which one favors, the end result delivers tremendous force combined with blurry lyricism. Merzbow's aggression is balanced by Boris' melodic richness and languid approach".
