Excerpt: "Iretsu retain their own identity throughout this record--an identity that enables them to sound like no other band on this planet... Each track on<em> The Moon... </em>is different and such eclecticism shouldn’t be sniffed at. It's one of the many factors that makes this record so appealing... the majority of tracks here are excellent, from the theatrical sing-along stomp of “Higher and Higher” to the driving angular pop of “The Shore”... <em>The Moon...</em> is wonderful. Hidden Shoal has unearthed a gem from the masses of dirt and has seemingly saved this record from the annals of the lost classic. I do not use the word classic lightly, but Iretsu deserve it for their sheer originality and invention. It would have been a crying shame had this record been known to only a select few, but Hidden Shoal have put paid to that. This record is a must... for any self-respecting music fan."
