Reactions
Mat Weir, writing on SanatCruz.com, said of A Chalkboard’s War Against Erasers, "One wouldn’t expect a hip-hop/funk/rock album by a bunch of post-college 20-somethings from the Digital Generation to be a mind-teaser about the philosophy of syntax, literature, perseverance and the moments of self-deprecation before the inner Phoenix rises again."
