Strawberry Hotel - critics' reviews
 

First critic review I've seen, in the Dec. issue of Classic Pop magazine.

That was... not what I was expecting to read. Chaos? Rampaging? Brutal? Head-melting?? Alright, yeah, let's. haha.

so a few of the final tracks are akin to Denver Luna a capella?

Re: Strawberry Hotel - critics' reviews
 

Well given what it says, I think it'll be Denver Luna (Acapella), Oh Thorn! and Stick Man Test as the short interstitial tracks, because Iron Bones has a separate additional writing credit and is a bit long to be an interlude type track. It is a bit weird to put 3 reprise type things (if that is what's happening) at the end, then again, I'm sure there's a reason re "Please don't shuffle." It's probably the album I've looked forward to most all year, so I'm very excited to hear it all. Some of these other track descriptions are very cool sounding

right and Gene Pool is obviously its own thing, we've heard it live and it rules. maybe that section was just clumsily worded.

Uncut Magazine, Dec. 2024 issue.
9/10, a lot more detail about some of the tracks (SPOILERS)

Re: Strawberry Hotel - critics' reviews
 

That was very interesting. Looking forward to see how the bonus track factors in.
