"Newcastle bard and Finnish psych rockers get heavy: This is the sort of album where the word "lightning" is followed by the sound of thunder. It is, in other words, a lot of fun. Everybody wins, too: Freed from his complex finger-picking, Dawson is able to soar gloriously over Circle's layers of sound, while the group is stronger with his mighty voice and melodies elevating their tumult. The rest of us are just lucky to be able to dive into these seven songs as heavy as Redwood trunks and as complex as cladoxylopsids. Cue thunderclap".
