Spin (2/98, p.104) - 6 (out of 10) - "...Ryder can't sing, he can't play an instrument, he's fat and ugly, but he can talk for hours about Loch Ness soil samples and how they look like computer disks. A foot soldier in the army of George Clinton and Al Jourgensen, he brings his cockeyed expertise to bear on a funk ensemble that never fails to slobber all over the groove..."
Musician (3/98, p.93) - "...STUPID is aswim in conflicting, discordant noises...and the tandem rap/toasting of Paul `Kermit' Leveridge....it does sound like these guys have just tumbled `whoo-hoo'-ing from the ale-soaked Tappa Kegga Daily house....you can't help but `whoo-hoo' along..."
Melody Maker (11/15/97, p.45) - "...deranged...rollercoasting...fun-packed....it's a warts'n'all look at the realities of shafting..."
Option (3-4/98, p.76) - "...All kinds of elements pop up in the mix, including Beatles licks, Kermit's dancehall toasting, flute loops, soulful horn charts, psychedelic guitars and more....This is rock music for your booty..."
