-
Feb 23, 2017The overall tone of Burning the Threshold is moody and reflective, and Chasny's embrace of more easily digestible song forms makes for one of the most engaging Six Organs releases in years.

UncutFeb 14, 2017The gentlest Six Organ's outing since 2005's School of The Flower, if not for the menacing rumblings in "Taken By Ascent." Even so, it's more vivid proof of Chasny's ability to create transcendental music free of psych cliches. [Mar 2017, p.39]

The WireJun 2, 2017Chasny’s vocals in particular, hushed and double-tracked, tend to sound like the performance of awed transport rather than awed transport itself. In that sense Threshold’s instrumental numbers--which on so many albums feel like interludes or filler--are standouts. [Mar 2017, p.54]
