The excellent second album by "Us" was on my wishlist already for too long... It's on the same high musical level as its predecessor, and fans of "IQ" certainly will enjoy it. It occurs around once in a lifetime (statistically, not literally) that I select a 25+ minute track as my favorite - but here the miracle happened, which allows some conclusions about the overall songwriting quality of the music. The highlights of the songs are their awesome melodies that go round and round in my head all day long, as well as Jos Wernars' thundering bass guitar, rumbling along in best Chris Squire tradition.

Basically a great album with top-notch songwriting... unfortunately bloated with annoying improvisations and other distracting noise, which wreck the wonderful musical arcs in an instant. As people sometimes say, "less would have been more"... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2016

With its debut album, this young band from Vienna follows the footsteps of honorable Austrian prog masters like "Matter Of Taste". The music on this concept album is not of the kind I'd call particularly innovative - it travels pretty much on well known roads paved by many others long ago. However, these youngsters do it in a highly pleasant way, skillfully avoiding the pitfalls of pseudo-progressive phrase rehashing most of the time - certainly more successfully so than several of their experienced grand paragons of prog.
