"Holding It Down: The Veterans' Dreams Project is another one of those releases that can probably be disqualified as a jazz album within certain circles. But finding reasons to keep it away from a jazz-related press and audience is a fool's errand. Holding It Down is not about Vijay Iyer's musicianship and mood conjuring. It's not about Mike Ladd's poetry. It's not about the inventive band behind the music. It's about veterans returning home and not fitting in".

"Hovering between genres, with intimations of hip-hop and metal, the music has a uniquely Iyer-ian character while opening onto a believable contemporary soundscape".
