Review from the Synthesis

"People still use the term "alternative" when referring to rock bands that are anything but. The Apes, however, are deserving of this title, and prove it with their 5th release, Baba's Mountain. From the albums odd, chaotic, opening track, "V.Y. March," to the eerie, almost gothic sounding "Ornaments And Windchimes," nearly everything about The Apes latest release defies convention. To boot, The Apes don't have a guitarist, and yet it's never an issue. Even on the aggressive rock songs like "The Green Bus" and "The Night Time Reaper," the driving bass and organ make up for it. Those farmiliar with the band, or looking to break away from conventional rock should take the tour of Baba's Mountain.
