Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote that "the synthy, slightly samey pleasures of The Gasoline Age aren't quite as compelling as Cornog's earlier works—in fitting with the car theme, some of it sounds like it was composed on cruise control—but East River Pipe still has a way with moody, mellow mini-epics that puts other sad sacks to shame."[7]

gollark: Think of all the possibly annoyed users.
gollark: Why would you think that randomly playing music without asking is a good idea?
