CRITIC REVIEWS

Lady From Shanghai isn’t as mind-bending as the band’s late-’70s work, but it still gives your gray matter a good kneading.

70
DIY

In terms of ideology and commitment to making progressive music that challenges and, at times, unsettles their audience they remain as relevant as ever. 

70
PopMatters

Lady from Shanghai is a relatively strong release from a classic band, albeit one that never really got popular with the masses. 

60
No Ripcord

It’s really, really difficult to recommend, unless somewhere in your library Metal Machine Music gets an occasional spin.

60
Drowned in Sound

Although this is a far cry from the standard of their late Seventies heyday, the band have continued down their obscure path with little deviation, creating a sound which, although challenging and on occasion elitist, is there own.
