“In their profoundly visceral music and unpretentious lyrics, Granicus puts forward a musically cohesive, emotionally compelling vision of growing up wasted in America, searching desperately for, and occasionally glimpsing spiritual truth, in a climate foreshadowing Armageddon…“Paradise,” the album’s summary statement, dares to revivify the myth of rock music’s power to exorcise evil and become, in itself, an avenue towards political and spiritual salvation. Listening to Granicus, that power once again seems within grasp.”
-Stephen Holden (from the original album liner notes)
