Album review from CHANNELINTHESTREET.com:
"You wouldn’t think two guys from New Jersey would be able to pretty much single-handedly (or should I say double-handedly? [sorry, lame]) breathe a breath of fresh air into a genre that many consider to be getting boring and stale and self-derivative, let alone do it over the course of a single 31-minute album. But the crew dubbed Ruined Machines has somehow achieved that. They don’t fuck around - right to the point post-rock, with a few pretty little interludes. The longest song is the closer “Miss Television Intelligence”, and it’s only 6 minutes long. The title track comes to a beautiful climax that would make many post-rock bands jealous in only an all-too brief 5 minutes. They use chugging guitars, some fx, keys, and some piano to backdrop the soaring guitars that the style is known for, and they do it oh-so-well. This is definitely a post-rock album, but it is not an Explosions In The Sky or Mogwai ripoff. There are few cliches within. Nothing is forced. It feels very natural and organic, and the production only aids this (the guitars in particular sound wonderful production-wise). I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone that is becoming bored with post-rock, anyone that doesn’t like post-rock, and definitely to any post-rock fan."
Rezensionen (The Grasping Hands of Possibility)
as said before an so on annd so on etc.
keep on drivin'
schönener leicht rockiger Ambient-(Chill-Out)-Mix auf hohem Niveau.
wer es rockig und dennoch überwiegend clean/mitunter sogar leicht steril mag,
der sollte mal probehören
Vorneweg, es macht Spaß zuzuhören, ob beim Arbeiten nebenbei oder konzentriert. Oft genug leiden reine Instrumentalalben darunter, daß sie kaum variieren, was hier aber in keiner Weise zutrifft. Den klassischen Rock-Instrumenten Schlagzeug und Gitarre werden unter anderem Klavier und (sparsame) elektronische Effekte beigemischt. Die wenigen kurzen Stücke wünsche ich mir etwas länger, aber davon abgesehen, sind sie in sich stimmig.
