    Despite Tim’s absence, LSD is awash with his presence. LSD is a masterpiece and evidence of what can be done in the face of adversity. It’s a record whose importance is more than its music.

    In short, LSD is a poignant celebration of nearly fifty years of music, and one hell of a send-off for a true pioneer of the industry. .... It’s certainly turned out to be one of 2025’s best releases.

    LSD features some of Smith's finest writing. .... You couldn't ask for much better. [Nov 2025, p.31]

    From labyrinthine opener Men In Bed, the material is inimitably Smith-esque, and if it is tempting to dig for premonitions of mortality, the Frank Zappa-via Hanna-Barbera thrills of Busty Beez or Skating feel like the work of a very much living artist. [Nov 2025, p.89]

    It's a 17-song trip into beautifully strange music. [Nov 2025, p.103]

    LSD is so concentrated, so packed with ideas, that on initial listenings, it's most efficacious when taken in moderate doses. .... Jim and co-producer Torabi have created a best fit from an abundance of available music, and this version of the band does Tim Smith proud, serving his singular vision with brio and love. [Oct 2025, p.61]
