"Untied States, for all their post-punk distinctions, are a group of lads who can wear 'experimental' truthfully and proudly." -Paul Haney, Tiny Mix Tapes

"It's the sound of clever despair, completely free of structures and swaggering over its lawlessness..." -Jennifer Kelly, PopMatters

"Quirkiness does not equal genius, but Untied States' excessive use of eccentricity just might. I was anticipating greatness from the moment I opened the package containing this disc, but this album surpassed that. I remain blown away"- Aiding and Abetting

...a deep, frenzied-yet-stable piece of what can be described as nothing else but avant-rock, as pretentious as that may sound. Untied States dodge characterization well enough to evoke odd terminology ...there's much enjoyment to be had in Retail Detail, and I would recommend it confidently to anyone who has grown tired of the ordinary. -Jacob Price, Delusions of Adequacy

Untied States want to explode the usual notions of what constitutes rock and, indeed, music itself. -William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Bewildering yet cohesive, there are a million things going on but you can still bob your head. As weird as it is unique. -Brian Keene, Real Detroit Weekly
