Critical Reception

AllMusic gave a mixed reception, both positive and negative towards the major change in themes - with a blues-rock focus over a heavier metal nature. Along with this general change there was an experimental nature to individual songs, with acoustic songs alongside slow groove. The review summarised the album as "still good, but isn't stoner rock supposed to sound destructive?"[3] Pitchfork's review was also mixed and noted similar issues and positives.[2]

gollark: I'm sure you're going to say something stupid now.
gollark: It is, apparently, "a set of formal analogies between the equations for electromagnetism and relativistic gravitation; specifically: between Maxwell's field equations and an approximation, valid under certain conditions, to the Einstein field equations for general relativity."
gollark: Not exactly.
gollark: I don't particularly, but I *can* read Wikipedia pages!
gollark: Do you know what "gravitomagnetism" is?
