“…a clattery, distorted racket… Cheap organ and synthesizer, clanking percussion, clobbered drums and cranked-up bass work up stop-start patterns that sound like progressive rock locked in a dank boiler room…. Every so often, someone howls a line like “What are we waiting for?” amid the din, or the music switches to a sardonic oom-pah. All the lurching and buzzing is invigorating and hilarious, unless you’re prone to motion sickness.” (John Pareles, New York Times)

“Lozenge are too unruly to be indie rock, too sensible to be grindcore and too damn good to be unjustly heaped into the overcrowded and underappreciated pigeonhole that is noisecore… Lozenge’s world is one where beer-barrel polkas slam headlong into caterwauling prog-metal and improvisational jazz riffs.” (Jason Jachowiak, Splendid)

“The cross-pollination of punk and improvised music has opened various new avenues of exploration… Doozy is a messy, frenetic, supercharged pack of tracks…barreling through occasional odd meters, fuzzy garage riffs, and menacing prog-punk pronouncements…”

“…Then there are other other bands that take a far-fetched musical idea (like mayhem, for instance), aggressively fart around with it for a few months, play about two live gigs, break up, disappear and then a year later, when individual band members may already have tenure in hell for all anyone knows, hawk up a gob of indispensable racket such as Plenum . . . “
