“It’s perfect. This is the most punk tape I can own. In anyone else’s hands it wouldn’t be nearly as punk”- Tim Thornton, Tabs Out

“Weird” – Tristan Bath, Spool’s Out Radio

“I don’t think Andy Birtwistle comes up with something new; it is what it is, the sound of vinyl crackling. The concept is quite poor, the results are nothing you couldn’t do yourself” – Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly

“My neighbors (and their pets) fucking hate me for playing this on the livingroom stereo.” – Jacob An Kittenplan, Cassette Gods

“My neighbors (and their pets) probably still fucking hate me for playing this on the livingroom stereo, but nowhere near as much as the previous “Chewed” tape.” – Jacob An Kittenplan, Cassette Gods

“I found the entire collection dry and unengaging … boring, worthless process noise of zero audio interest … a sterile laboratory experiment.” – Ed Pinsent, The Sound Projector
