http://www.cmj.com/articles/display_article.php?id=8701 Brief review by Jeff Tamarkin: "Is it possible that Pere Ubu has gone near-accessible? Well, not quite." 1982.10.25 http://www.inkblotmagazine.com/rev-archive/Pere_Ubu_Bailing.htm Review by Bill Meyer of the 1999 reissue. "This album is a transitional entry in Pere Ubu's catalog." http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/p/pere-ubu/song-of-the-bailing-man.shtml Rated 7.2 out of 10 by Michael Sandlin. "Basically, these are your average Pere Ubu non-hit songs that ponder burning questions concerning paleontology, biochemistry, geometry, zoology, and the language and communication barriers between man and animal."
