From Richie Unterberger’s liner notes: “Fragmented song structures, odd dabblings in weird reverb and electric instrumentation, and a hallucinogenic aura of heightened fear and ecstasy. Often the songs reflect states of mind that are not just altered, but on the verge of disintegration. And no [other] acid folk album mixes inspiration and lunacy in as downright deranged a fashion.”
