Critical reception
Template:Music ratings Stereo Review praised "the delicious nastiness of The Moog Cookbook, which takes ten sacred-cow songs down a few pegs... Soundgarden's 'Black Hole Sun', for instance, becomes an unholy cross of generic bossa nova and the theme to the old Dating Game TV show, while the deep brooding of Tom Petty's 'Free Fallin'Template:' gets trashed via robot vocals and some Rick Wakemanesque keyboard flourishes."<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
