It seems like the sorta musical accompaniment I'd expect to hear if I ever had the misfortune of seeing a Gorgon, that is. I felt like I was gonna turn to stone just by listening to it. That may seem like a bad thing, (and I suppose it would be,) but the genius is that it's THAT intense!

I love what’s been coming out during and post covid, and this album shows Danny Elfman still got it, it’s a masterpiece and something brand new and unexpected from the musical genius. He’s done something for himself during lockdown and the album is a beautiful piece of music

Since a epic and wild album I been wanting for this for awhile it was well worth it

I feel like this is the perfect evolution of Danny Elfman's music following his years of scores and Boingo (the album), the latter of which these songs feel like spiritual successors to, and I think I enjoy this album more than Boingo anyways! It's also super nice to see the return of Insects, and with Elfman's recent youtube re-release of Running On A Treadmill, I'm more hopeful than ever for an Oingo Boingo reunion!

I’ve been a Danny Elfman / Oingo Boingo fan for 34 years or so. I was so excited for this work, but I just can’t get behind it. There’s some genius here, and some madness, and a lot of the rather mediocre. Cruel Compensations is the best offering here IMO. But it can’t carry all the weight of this lengthy dark journey. Perhaps I’m too old now to appreciate this undertaking.

Been a Boingo fan for-ever… Love that he has gone back to his “sound”. The mature raspiness of his voice adds so much. Like a fine wine Danny has only gotten better with age!

This is stunning as always, Danny. 😍❤️

So. Big Oingo Boingo fan and Elfman solo fan. Every artist has one album that is just so bad. I tried so very hard to like the songs. I watched the videos. I have to come to the honest conclusion that this project is Elfman's Tori Amos downward spiral signal. Watch "Get him to the Greek" for a more succint and spot on evalution then mine. Sorry Danny but this aint even close to good.

it’s weird strange bizarre just out loud when you know can’t calm down because you’re ears are having a good time and you know you like it that way. And there’s nobody making music like this. Elfman is just running around inside of your head.

Thank goodness.
