  1. 8.0 |   Punk News

    While this record has the whimsy and drive of a turbo-cut record, it’s not likely that this was tossed off

  2. 7.3 |   Gig Soup

    It’s worthwhile, vivacious stuff from start to finish

  3. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    Certain alternative fans will find this a dream come true, but the uninitiated would do better to listen to Melvins' earlier work. Stoner Witch isn't going anywhere
