"... the sextet condense it's sprawling live sound into 44 minutes of elegantly constructed instrumentals and muscular, modern soul - all coated with a frosty trip-hop sheen." - Entertainment Weekly

"Lean bass lines, stuttering drumbeats, chords placed cooly on the backbeat and melodies like bluesy epigrams add up to some of the most danceable music on earth." -New York Times

"...Galactic can work a groove. (With Ruckus), the boys update the N'awlins vibe in a finger-licking gauntlet of futuristic jazz-funk" -Details

"With Ruckus, Galactic has proven once again why they are the flagship of 21st-century funk and how they can effectively push the envelope in new and fresh directions." -Offbeat Magazine

"...their improvisatuons are simply flawless... Crystalline guitar solos crash into chunky organ blasts; Mardi Gras parades bump into booze-soaked blues jam sessions. Keyboardist Richard Vogel and drummer Stanton Moore provide a backbeat fatter than a krispy kreme doughnut. " - Relix
