    Devising a new way of playing heavy music is nothing if not a brave undertaking, and Hexadic rewards significantly with each repeated listen.

    The constantly-disruptive feel of Hexadic makes it perhaps the most consistent Six Organs albums to date.

    Hexadic is most certainly a challenging and confusing album and one that can, at times, be a struggle to listen to. It is worth persevering however, for there are flashes of brilliance to be found in the constant battle between control and abandon.

    Hexadic works best when Chasny dials down the guitar squall and channels his energies towards more nuanced fare.

    Nothing here is ever structurally predictable, nor is it all cacophonous. [Mar 2014, p.98]

    Full marks for originality, then, but it's definitely something you have to be in the mood for. [Mar 2015, p.116]

    While Six Organs of Admittance do an admirable job of crafting big walls of feedback and drones over which to jam, the tracks on Hexadic tend to meander and stumble around without really going anywhere.
