Press Reviews "If there is anything right with this world, you'll be hearing a lot more from these San Francisco rockers in the future." - Fright X magazine, August 1999 "The very first track on the album begins the journey into the enigmatic world of Stru Tural, a four member band of storytellers with an undeniable penchant for impeccable songwriting and lyrical lucidity. In addition to the stellar production of The Return of Amsted Butterfly and the flawless musicianship of the band, the lyrics on the jacket can simply be read as a book of poetry. Stru Tural has a lot to say and those who listen will not be disappointed." - Rockpile, May 1999 "My young friends have blossomed beautifully! Almost like...a butterfly! A gorgeous Stephen Malkmus butterfly who rambled out of a Superchunk cocoon and took off for Slint's "Spiderland." I listened to the record three times today, and it truly is a great local achievement. A multifaceted album instead of a bunch of disparate songs." - Mae Hemm, SFgate.com, May 1999 more at http://www.strutural.com
