“Chat Pile return with Cool World's riveting barrage”
“While not as harrowing as the band's debut, Cool World still hits hard as fuck.”
“In Ralph Bakshi's Cool World, a femme fatale in a supposedly "created" cartoon world uses her wits and her sexuality to try and overcome her animated existence and enter the real. Why she would ever want to do that is baffling, since our "real world," the one she longs for, is very much like the violent, decaying one found in Chat Pile's titanic sophomore album, the aptly titled Cool World. Forme”
“The OKC noise rockers expand their sonic and subjective scope to prove just how desperate of a situation we’re all in.”
“On an album that paints a panoramic view of human suffering, the Oklahoma City group sometimes sacrifices ferocity as it expands its muscular sludge-metal sound.”
