Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "Visionary whimsy and an aura of genuinely spooky menace aside, BLACK SHIPS ATE THE SKY is largely notable for its impeccable guests...", "The songs are complexly layered, challenging the listener to fathom their depths, shadows and shadings.", "Dissertation-worthy references to almost every religion and mystic tradition, plus nursery rhymes, world history, Kafka, sci-fi and the blues!", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A dark veil of strings encircle the skipping, six-string mantras, a perfectly elegant platform for David Tibet's astonishing, conviction-filled disquisitions."
