One review called this "a masterpiece"...well,no...not really...that's a terrible poison chalice to saddle any new band with. Some people have also called this 'math rock'...well,if that means precise rhythms,breakneck unison playing and eccentric time signatures (the drummer sometimes sounds like a rock-drill on steroids),then that would have been a term to apply to the Mahavishnu Orchestra or,indeed,Troyka...another review called this "like nothing you've ever heard"...well,no...
No,this is a very good workout with some interesting ideas but they can be repetitive without a sense of development,I think. It actually works better when it slows down a bit and takes a breath and becomes less autistic...
Technically very challenging but emotionally a little arid in places. It is a rewarding listen but this band have a lot more development in the tank and don't need the over-hype...

I'd be lying if I said this didn't remind me of Battles with some ASIWYFA mixed in. Nice upbeat instrumental math-rock, mainly synth, with piano, guitars, and some tight drums. Mbourgon
Extremely friendly people, even better music! Was a pleasure to meet them at my local store, where they introduced me to their music. So glad I followed up on it! arezoth
Expansive, turbulent electronic music from Reid Willis that imagines the cycles of “creation & destruction, beauty & violence.” Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 6, 2020
I've owned this album for years but have bought it again for the high quality download. Absolutely outstanding work, one of my favourite bands of all time. elsharpo
