Reception
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "A long-overdue official farewell for Hemphill, Requiem for Julius not only harkens back to the sound of WSQ's initial recordings, but indicates that they have plenty of original music left in the tank.".[1]

gollark: Why are those the "official"/canonical ones? Because the nameserver for the parent domain says the nameserver for its subdomains.
gollark: A nameserver is basically just a server which serves the DNS protocol. This is not very descriptive, yes. But although many things work as DNS servers, nameservers (strictly authoritative nameservers, I think) are ones which serve the "official" records for one domain.
gollark: I'm not done.
gollark: DNS is a hierarchical system.
