ReviewsRanked #19 in the Village Voice's 1996 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll., 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...engrossing music, recalling the early intimacy of Laurie Anderson, the raw aggression of Public Image Ltd. and the spaced oddities of Scott Walker and Underworld. Blues guitar notes get ripped away from tradition....subtle beats provide accent and flavor below floating orchestrations...", 8 (out of 10) - "...In place of the usual bass-heavy beats, Tricky here glues together stark and melodic rhythm tracks out of bits or refuse; a steel-drum fragment fastened to a vague rustle, tied up with a synth hoot like the passage of a ghost in a silly horror movie...", "...Eschewing spacey trip-hop grooves, it's filled with hypnotic, grinding soundscapes over which he and guests plaintively whisper. With GOD, Tricky's created a new genre: ambient apocalypse." - Rating: A, 5 (out of 5) - "...Through an obfuscating veil of Indo smoke and relentless ambition, Tricky transfigures himself as musical divinity...", "...he takes dance music's sample-and-loop aesthetic and inverts it; the pulse augments the music's textures instead of the other way around....follows its own fluid logic, pooling here, eddying there, or rushing like rapids....NEARLY GOD ends up sounding wholly divine.", Recommended - "...in the tradition of 19th century mystics, fasting to create visionary states...Tricky, the true poet, fearful at the borderline....in the tradition of lazy, spliffed-up, fogged-over bastards, staring bleary at all-night TV...Tricky, the autistic auteur..."
