I find the greatness of this album not to be in the individual songs, but it in the almost symbiotic blend of styles and flavors across the songs as a collective narrative. I might be inspired by the StarWars font on the cover, but this is an epic saga to me. From the solemn and quiet Waking Sleep to the "Witch"-like guitarsound on Super Kanpai Rainbow to the tolling bell on Lord of Illusion there's universe-spaning wonders to be had on this album. Sit back, crank it up and let it sweep you off. Zhakathoom

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
Beautiful red splatter vinyl No. 83/125. So effortlessly cool, banging stoner occult rock. Done how it should be done. Love from Wales, UK. darksidegallery
