"There are, no doubt, many beautiful and bracing passages throughout Kannon. Few musicians can summon the same mix of patience, intensity, roar, and meticulousness as Anderson and O'Malley; it's wonderful to hear them interact in the pristine, refined acoustic setting offered by producer Randall Dunn".

"Dig further into 'Kannon' and you get the sense this is a kind of back-to-basics excursion for SunnO))). 2009's Monoliths And Dimensions was an elaborate, affair that featured French horns, tubular bells and a Viennese women's choir. Last year's Scott Walker collaboration `Soused' took things even further - an elaborate metal opera pitched right at the brink of nervous breakdown. But clocking in at just 33 minutes, though, 'Kannon' feels comparatively slight, giving O'Malley and Anderson just enough time to reaffirm the basics of their sound".

"Med Kannon er Sunn O))) vendt tilbage til deres udgangspunkt ... - en obskur metal, der er præget af de langsomme, krybende og tonstunge droner. Bas, guitar og synth bygger enorme massiver af skurrende og knurrende klippestykker og feedbackende toner i de smukkeste, langsomt changerende dueller. Alt sammen i sindig opbygning mod klimakser, der både tårner højt og rammer dybt i knoglerne ... Disse enorme slowmotion-uvejr er ofte tilsat en forsanger. Her (...) black metal-veteranerne Mayhems ungarske forsanger Attila Csihar (...) som en ildevarslende lavmælt stemme af grus og småsten, som formår at lyde som den sidste dødsrallen - strakt ud over albummets tre numre, der alle cirkler er af cirka ti minutters varighed. Bag ham er der også af og til et mandskor, der lyder, som om det er til satanisk eller hedensk midnatsmesse i krypten".
