Drowned In Sound
For the internet-damaged and terminally short of attention to the myopically conservative, to those who choose music merely as a lifestyle accessory, this album will upset, confuse or bore. For anyone interested in music that works both as art and an intensely new exciting experience - this is easily the best album that has come out this year.

No Ripcord
Even in spite of their addition of thickening and texturing agents to the mix, Monoliths & Dimensions is for a select crowd.

...the ambient experiments and geological time signatures... took Sunn 0))) even further out of a genre synonymous with patched denim and into the realm of art

Under The Radar
Each of the four tracks begins with trademark slabs of sludge, but by the end of the closer, "Alice," this is way more Arvo Pärt or Steve Reich than it is doom or drone metal
