"...Imelda Marcos have a euphoric, almost free jazz-like exuberance, like listening to a conversation between two old friends who have a lot of catching up to do."
-- Bandcamp Daily's Brutalist Riffs: A Guide to Math Rock
(https://daily.bandcamp.com/lists/brutalist-riffs-a-guide-to-math-rock)

"Burly noise-prog — emphasis on the noise — that combines the live-wire charge and DIY virtuosity of the great early-to-mid-2000s avant-rock duos (Hella definitely come to mind) with the massive asymmetrical groove of Meshuggah and sprinkles of Battles-y sleekness. Abrasive as hell yet also unabashedly fun and compulsively body-moving."
-- Dark Forces Swing Blind Punches blog

"The Chicago band again in its original instrumental configuration. Drums, guitar and always an incredible density of sounds, a guitar and its effects which confuse you as much as it hypnotizes you, a sound which scratches, hooks, scratches and caresses at the same time."
-- Perte & Fracas (translated from French)

"Listening to this album is like letting someone with a hook for a hand play with your hair because it's intense, yet still comforting."
-- Issues Magazine

"The trio’s newest music since last year’s enigmatic Albularyo, this release is faster, sharper around the edges, white-hot riffs all jagged and buzzing with nonstop energy."
-- Outside Noise
