"At turns trenchantly satirical and heart-rendingly sincere, the Metaphysicians write about life. But what sets their lyrical genius apart from just about everyone else is their ability to present the quotidian without cliché, and to render the profound without vainglory." –Vadge Endshaver, S.F. Bi-Weekly

"The Metaphysicians’ lyrics live up to the grandiosity of their cognomen: invariably witty and literate, replete with references to literature, philosophy, Western history, and pop culture." –Harold Blumenthal, Professor of American Studies, University of California (Berkeley).

"A musical revolution has begun, and the revolutionaries are none other than the underground phenomenon that calls itself the Metaphysicians. Unusual song structures, a prodigious chord vocabulary, eclectic styles of percussion, and angular yet melodic arrangements: these are the hallmarks of their new rock-and-roll, to which many will aspire for years to come." –Kurt Von Braun, Stohling Rhône Magazine

"What makes their execrable style particularly repellent is the strong stench of narcissism, early-twenty-something ‘irony,’ and smirking self-reference. One could easily imagine their self-love inciting them to populate their own website with fabricated quotes of fulsome praise." –Nerdy Nerdington, University of Chicago undergraduate

"So I've been listening to your guys' album and it's really really fucking good. I haven't been able to listen to anything else." -Lang Reynolds
