Nemesis Online is an album by the Legendary Pink Dots, released in 1998.[4]
Critical reception
[edit]The Washington Post wrote: "Using today's technology to evoke the spirit of 1972, the Legendary Pink Dots make a credible case for self-indulgent art-rock."[5] Keyboard thought that "as talented as the band is at manipulating tonal moods through programming, sampling, and effects, they can just as easily evoke feelings of terror or tranquillity with only a piano or guitar and vocals."[6] The Chicago Tribune called the album "a tad uneven," but wrote that "it still erupts with some typically pretty, woozy and eerie hallucinations."[7]
