"This still holds its ground after 38 years. Its unusual mix of poetic psych with heavy episodes and progressive structures is inventive. The World Will End Yesterday is an acid-drenched classic" - The Tapestry Of Delights

"A harrowing world away from the predominantly beatific nature of much English psychedelia... an album that is certainly worth persevering with" - Record Collector

"This is often considered a few years ahead of its time. one of those odd records that mix psychedelic and garage-style music with progressive touches, and lots of long instrumental sections with guitar solos" - www.allmusic.com
