Reviews of Move Toward the Exit (2001)

Independent Songwriter makes "Exit" a Top Pick of the Month for December and says, "Justin Mikulka can't seem to do anything wrong. Every CD he makes is better than the last one...he's transcended into somewhat of an icon of American spirit and perseverance; determined to make music his own way...his strange brand of production sense transforms an ordinary CD into an auditory spectacle"

"crazed angular blues that recall Captain Beefheart...a ghostly voodoo spiritual...Mikulka occasionally mixes the tender tones of Nirvana and the metaphysical pace of Neil Young..but mostly it is his own, undefinable voice" Piero Scaruffi, The History of Rock and Roll

"an album that truly combines the sincerity of folk, the electric energy of the blues and the power of rock and roll....with the right breaks and right tweaks, Mikulka could conceivably be as big as Wilco within a year or two." Splendid

"an album full of acid-trip adventures...he writes memorable, warming, emotional songs that could really make an impact" In Music We Trust

"soaring...hypnotically compelling...edgy and electrifying" The Aquarian
