Orlando Weekly - Music Review - Finally the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid and The Day They Shot a Hole in the Jesus Egg (453 words)
Spanning two releases and five discs -- "Finally the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid: 1983-1988," a chunky triple set; "The Day They Shot a Hole in the Jesus Egg: 1989-1991," a tidy double -- the 89 tracks compiled here show a band both formative and exploratory.
The progression in sound is sometimes grueling to endure and the band's arrival at a unique and engaging sound (with the pathos-drenched psychedelia of 1988's "Telepathic Surgery") is as much a relief as it is a revelation.
Unafraid of experimentation, yet too dorky to take their experiments seriously, "Priest's" blend of truly psychedelic sonics and Wayne Coyne's raw Jesus-curious poetry yielded an album that was capable of being catchy, being mind-blowing and, most notably, being unbearably loud.
