"I often comment that something sounds pretty weird or unusual, kind of an
occupational hazard working here IÆd say, but when I say æGood WorldÆ is
strange, IÆm talking proper strange. You know, crawling up the walls like a
haunted spider and twisting your head around a few times while vomiting Parrot
feathers. The Robot Ate Me, as you might have deduced from the æzanyÆ band name,
are off their tree, and in this case itÆs a good thing. A 22 minute, 17 track
album may not be everyoneÆs idea of a good night in û but thereÆs something
about it that draws you back to it. Yes the guys sings in a funny high voice and
yes the instrumentation is spannered and random at best, but the more you listen
to these micro-pop ditties the more you realise thereÆs a method in the madness.
The songs work in some masochistic way and begin to hook themselves into your
soul. So if youÆre dying to hear something that sounds like Fantomas failing
majestically in their quest to make a heartfelt indie record then look no
further." -boomkat
"With Good World, Ryland Bouchard rushes through 17 tracks in 22 minutes, his
creepy, wavering falsetto accompanied by his own tinker toy-like instrumentation
and David Greenberg's lumbering drums. A concept album about subjects probably
only Bouchard comprehends, this is an affair that might only interest the most
adventurous listeners or fans of outsider art. An electric accordion,
ear-piercingly high clarinets, and other found items weave in and out of the mix
creating an overall unsettling atmosphere of childlike oblivion. Bouchard offers
up freak-jazz workouts and moody ballads, but all the songs intentionally blend
into a quick fire of wailing indie obliqueness. Again, it's likely only fans of
psychedelic experimentation and spooky falsetto mummery will appreciate
Bouchard's otherworldly sonic kaleidoscope, but Good World is certainly an audio
world unto its own." -allmusic
