According to an article written by David Paul Kleinman of Jambands.com [www.jambands.com] on 11/16/08 [5]:
"This formula—two for the body, one for the head—works. It works so well I’m willing to type that this is the best jamband album I have heard in 2008. And next year, with Phish injecting a whale-load of spunk into the jamband scene, the Histronic will hopefully capitalize and bring their brand of jam to a theater near you."
