“brings together seriously driving stoner rock (“third man on the moon,” “shotgun son”), chilly blues (“roof of the shed”), and some Sabbath-y sludge (“Scatagoria”) into a statement of purpose that matches the band’s classic Sunrise on the Sufferbus. All the classic elements are here – obscure and funny lyrics, precise vocal harmonies, and the trademark guitar of Chris Goss. The band is joined by Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri, Screaming Trees’ Mark Lanegan, and many others. Always one of America’s most criminally underappreciated bands, Masters of Reality here bring their A-game to the plate, with solid songwriting, and strong performances. A great way to discover the peculiar genius of this wonderful band.” - James Mason, AllMusic
