"'Symbionese Liberation Album' is a shining example of how to properly execute a hardcore Hip-Hop sound mission. Jihad's intense, multi-layered rhymes hark back to the days of Rakim and Kool Keith, when new meanings could still be found within a verse even after you'd heard it for the tenth time. ... It's the sound of a lyrical giant stomping through a concrete jungle full of verbal midgets, accompanied by some of the most uncompromising beats this side of Company Flow's 'Funcrusher Plus.'" -- Blues & Soul Magazine (UK)
"This album is a perfectly executed mixture of intelligence, depth, darkness and beats. ... complete with he-man references and so many beat styles and cuts that each song is almost it's own album. You can tell time, patience and skill were put into the making of this record and it could only be done by people with amazing skills who work together so well it feels like you're listening in on the best conversation ever. ... On this album you can say each song could turn into it's own genre, that's how much they break away and evolve. ...Buy it, sit down and hear it once, and then really pay attention the second time. You'll find yourself listening to this over and over again because it grows on you even more with each listen." -- Indie Workshop
"Third Sight is the heavy, solid kid striding over from the back, that you see coming from fifty feet away but are too paralyzed by fear to avoid. Plodding, never awkward, slow but relentlessly d-o-p-e. And this kid has a wicked right hook." -- PopMatters
"Jihad has this sick nonchalant flow with those freestyle type discordant timings riding his poignant and intense story matter. The production is quite minimal but remains brutal and sadistic allowing space for D-Styles' next level, off kilter scratches to get perverse. In the same vein as Jihad's rhyme style, the beats and scratches are far from formulaic and in turn, more rewarding. "Symbionese Liberation Album" beats down suckas, leaving fools gagged and bound in the basement, clawing back a quality that is lacking in a lot of today's hip hop - raw originality." -- PIMP Magazine
"The perfect matching of Jihad's vocals and D-Styles' production and cuts will have this album resonating in your head for years to come." -- Synthesis Magazine
"Third Sight return for their second album, 7 years since the now classic 'Golden Shower Hour' and like fine wine time has only made them better. Once more Dufunk and D-Styles provide the beats for Jihad to deliver tongue twisting, challenging, funny and incisive rhymes. ... Whether you're new to them or not you need this to remind yourself of what hip hop is capable of." -- ATM Magazine
"Symbionese Liberation is the first indispensable release of the year." -- ukhh.com
"...traverses the rare perimeter that includes street smarts with an intellectual bent. ... The thinking person's hip hop crew." -- 3D World
"With D-Styles and Dufunk crafting dark, minimal, mysterious beats combined with Jihad imprinting his masterful flow all over the album, this is one of the best DJ/MC albums in a long time. Jihad swiftly moves through disses, issues of drugs, tooth decay, alcohol, and virgins, like one big piece of Swiss cheese. He has one of the most consistent, free-flowing, effortless flows I have ever heard. No need for punchlines, because every line punches. Non-stop, tight lyricism that streams like a waterfall." -- Soundslam
"'Symbionese Liberation Album' ... provides subtle brilliance, both musically and lyrically." -- Daily Nebraskan
"[T]he real star is emcee Roughneck Jihad, whose flows bring to mind MF Doom or Robin Williams in the height of his seventies coke binge." -- Screaming Bloody Mess
