Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote that "as usual, the overall effect is adept but underwhelming; Weird Food & Devastation should please the band's fans, but probably won't attract many new ones."[6] The Houston Press called the album "dense, dark, somewhat grungy ... the strangest Connells effort to date."[7]

gollark: My website *should* support it, but I don't really do extensive testing.
gollark: I wonder how much stuff actually supports IPv6.
gollark: That's fair.
gollark: With IPv6 existing memorizing random IP addresses is increasingly impractical, and computers can mostly memorize better anyway.
gollark: I mean, 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 seem pretty reliable.
