    All Music Guide Review

    The Folk Implosion has always been Lou Barlow's respite from his day job Sebadoh, and as such generally shuns the alternative rock trappings of that band to favor a more intricate sound. The first two songs (originally issued as the Palm of My Hand 7") are prime examples, his perfect balance of bubblegum pop and lo-fi murk on full display. The rest of the record, originally issued as the Electric Idiot EP, is divided between "traditionals" and so-called "experimentals." The traditionals are decent pop songs but lack the emotion that makes much of Barlow's work great, while the experimentals are failed attempts at the avant-garde that just sound bad. Overall, a decent release lacking the consistency of Sebadoh's Harmacy or the sweeping beauty of the Folk Implosion's later work. ~ Ari Wiznitzer, All Music Guide
