Reception

edit

In writing for Ink 19, critic Kurt Channing criticized Delirium Tremens unclear tonal direction but claimed "Sulfur's distinguishing characteristics are its solid use of unusual instruments and Michele Amar’s vocal approach."[3] A critic at babysue criticized the busy nature of some of the compositions but comparing the complex music somewhat favorably to early eighties progressive rock music.[4]
