Mojo (p.105) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Still rocking their own singularly battle-worn and telepathically tight set-up of bass and drums, effects and volume, Brian Gibson and Chippendale continue to plough a unique path of destruction through rock's deepest strata."What makes Hypermagic even more heroic beyond its immediate rhythmic grip is the musicianship, the furious dedication to a hyper, jagged groove. Longer tracks like "Dead Cowboy" and "Mohawk Windmill" build into giant fractals of epic noise, with weird little filigrees stolen from old Yes albums bursting forth from roaring bass guitar and splattering drum rolls. At its most chaotic, Hypermagic Mountain could tear open a wormhole into Comets on Fire's Blue Cathedral. It's clear that Lightning Bolt reach stasis at their noisiest, when they're caught deep in the zone.
