Entertainment Reviews:
Q - 2/96, p.104
3 Stars - Good - "...plenty of melody and the fuzzy guitar holds up..."
Alternative Press - 11/93, p.66
"...The best record in at least a year....Sounds as if Jane's Addiction gave a crap and really put their souls into their music instead of the rumor mill..."
Melody Maker - 1/13/96, p.31
Recommended - "...BTS are 30 years of Classic American Rock sent beaming at its usual targets...then consciously, bloody-mindedly skewed away, bent out of shape, insides ripped out and fizzing. Pitchbend, X-phaser, multi-echo, ramp, distort, amen..."
NME (Magazine) - 12/16/95, p.36
