Review by Solvej Schou. "After 27 years and 11 studio albums of avant-garde garage, founding member David Thomas still threads together stories as warped and warbled as his voice."

Positive review by Patrick; "Pere Ubu is the most consistent band I can think of."

Positive review by Ian Simmons: "I suppose Pere Ubu are the American Fall."

Review by Jason Nickey with a rating of 8.5 of 10. "St. Arkansas is the complex tale of a sharp-dressed trucker ... whose passion in life is the open road."

Review by Richard A. Martin; 3 of 5 stars. "Thomas and his foil from recent times, Robert Wheeler, work up enough angst and bile to make St. Arkansas a worthwhile addition to the repertoire."

Positive review by Noel Murray: "One of Pere Ubu's best works, displaying the kind of intelligence and imagination that gives the avant-garde a good name."

"Pere Ubu's twelfth studio record is, in short, a creative masterpiece, a nigh-unto-perfect collection of ten well written, brilliantly played and crisply recorded songs...."
