5/5 The Best Tub Ring Album Yet!!!!!!!!!
  by Zpak (Cleveland Ohio)
This band has a few really good albums under their belt and is constantly dealing with Mr. Bungle and Faith No More comparisons, and that is a fine comparison to live down( and well founded since Trey from bungle produced one of the old albums ), but I think with this album they finally surpassed the comparisons and grew into their own splendid being. Some amazing pop songs on here as well as some downright heavy moments, highly schizophrenic stuff. In my humble opinion one of the 5 best bands active and touring today. Buy this album.

5/5 Tub Ring's "Zoo Hypothesis"
  by Justin St. Vincent (Auckland, New Zealand)
Zoo Hypothesis is another one of those Tub Ring albums that is incredible from start to finish. You'll continually discover new layers within Tub Ring's intricate music. An infectious release that you'll keep in your CD player until you're singing every line and humming every note. Lyrics are brilliant and the artwork superb! Emerging favourites are: "Tiny, Little", "I Could Never Fall In Love With You", "Raindrops", "Return To Me", and "Vehicle".

5/5 Festive Loud music

This album is great. Sinse buying it..It has rarely left my cd player. It's also completely different from their other records. It sounds like fast aggresive punk/old school industrial fused with christmas jingles..among other things. The singer has an amazing singing voice. Very catchy, memorable tunes..but not cheesy.
And no. They sound nothing like Mr. Bungle.. maybe on the album Drake Equation (produced by the guitarist of Bungle) but not this cd. Very unique sound.
Buy this disk - these guys aren't little corporate (...) support them.

4/5 Another consistent album.......take a chance.

On with their tradition of doing something different these guys are back in full force with Zoo Hypothesis, their 3rd album. 16 songs at under 40 minutes this album covers alot of ground and is very interesting to say the least. Fans of Mr. Bungle,SOAD,DFD and MSI will enjoy this gem. I also highly recommend their two previous albums as well. This music is off the mainstream path. WAY OFF............

4/5 Consistently great
  by Megan Knouff (Cincinnati, US)
My four-star rating is only in light of my familiarity with Tub Ring's full body of work--they'd be hard-pressed to live up to Drake Equation. In comparison to most of what's out there, this is definitely a five-star album.

They manage to consistenly tread new ground while still retaining their signature sound, and manage to retain a great sense of fun while expounding lyrically (and wittily) on aspects of math, science, and the slow computerization of the world, as evidenced by lines like "There was a time when/It was just you and me/Until they came and/Made us all obsolete...Proof of life is carbon/I am everything you're not". And as usual they run a gamut of styles, from the noir-swingy sound of "I Could Never Fall In Love With You" to the far-east-calm-blasted-into-screaming-rock of "Habitat". If you're looking for something different and still listenable and able to be sung along to--these guys, while crazy, are still classifiable as radio-friendly--this is what you're looking for.
