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]
