Summary: "...unlike anything else heard from Coulier...another insane release." -The Philler (4/06) "To say that I'm not entirely sure what this is would be something of an understatement. What I do know however is that I like it. This disc needs to be listened to to be believed." -Lucid Forge (4/06) "...pretty much made me pop a boner. I definitely felt like I was getting fucked from both sides, and for the first time in my life I think I liked it." -Econo Culture (4/06) "Coulier use the extremes of their influences as boundaries, not caring if they color outside the lines once in a while. Vibin' could have been an entirely miscalculated disaster, but instead it is perfectly calculated and wondrously disasterous." -Performer Magazine (4/06) "A Prog-fest of stop/start chugs and spacy intent that is thoroughly enjoyable. A rating upgrade from a B to a B+ for having naked girls on the front." -Tastes Like Chicken (4/06) "Volatile guitar-drum army Coulier bashes out fantastic instrumental prog-metal for the ADD generation...A confounding and stunning band." -Stomp and Stammer (3/06) "Seventies porn is rad. So is Coulier" -Screaming Bloody Mess (3/06) "The end result is an album that is curious at times, dumfounding and complex at others and killingly riff-rocking at others" -Flagpole Magazine (3/06) "And it is during this 50-minute abortion [Halibut] that I learned to truly hate Coulier." -Movie Poop Shoot (2/06) "The act is a metal/prog/math-rock/post-rock/hardcore/experimental beast. The trick is that they fuse it all into one raging, frantic concentration of searing rock that only makes it more difficult for them to find a worthy rival." Delusions of Adequacy (6/05) "The riffs-per-minute ratio is stratospheric...an explosive and nearly virtuosic exploration of metal's formulas and the boundaries of Coulier's audience's tolerance." -Splendid Magazine (5/05) "Their chops have been honed on the whetstone of jazz, leaving these kids eager to show their adoring public exactly what's up their sleeve, namely some incomprehensible riffs, nerve-jangling chromatic workouts, and enough nonchalant pinch harmonics to send the dogs of your neighbourhood howling long into the night." -Collective Zine (5/05) "They don't fuck around when it comes to laying down some cool riffs and amazing drumming." -Screaming Bloody Mess (5/05) "...riveting and impressive and at other times just plain crushing." -Indie Workshop (4/05) "...half-assed and garage-esque." -Hybrid Magazine (4/05) They can't all be winners! "Those damn guitars done stole the show." -Flex Your Head (3/05) "...one of the craziest, most intense and enjoyable instrumental rock recordings in recent memory. Coulier is the rare band that snaps me out of my jadedness." -Stomp and Stammer (3/05) ""Cool Cooler Coulier" is unlike anything you've ever heard." "...the air guitar album of 2005." -Lost at Sea (2/05) "The result is positively rawking; in that maddening, spastic way that the kids are so enamored with these days." -Slug Magazine (2/05) "You look at Coulier as a genius who fails classes because he doesn't care about doing things the right way." -Red and Black (1/05) "[Coulier is] a force concerned less with spouting emotions than with unleashing unadulterated fury." -Creative Loafing (9/04) "Coulier is as volatile and explosive as a choreographed car crash. The band's rhythms are like jazz on ice; they're derived from something impulsive and erratic, but [their] structural components are precise and solidified." -Flagpole Magazine (7/04) "This is just so spazzable! Super good." -Collective Zine (2/04) *http://www.coulier.net Photos: Kevin M.
