"Though a very brave first release, Harrison Act's The Sound of Things to Come only proves why there isn't more piano-driven rock out there. Ben Folds who?Listening to more than 4 songs in a row really leaves a listener numb. The songs are well written, but there is not enough diversity between the album tracks to keep a listener interested. Pick any handful of songs and you may like what you hear, but soon you will find yourself craving a change of tempo like an infant craves attention. The repetitive and unemotional drumming style contributes to the overall feeling of status-quo. No surpises here.Harrison Act's The Sound of Things to Come is a great album to play in the background, when you are not looking to focus on the music being heard. The group may have a bright future, if the lead singer learns a thing or 2 about pitch and timber."

"The Harrison Act's "A Sign of Things to Come" might possibly the worst album I have ever listened to. Imagine the Barnum and Bailey circus on crack. Although the lead singer has potential, but needs to master pitch before he attempts to hit keys that are clearly out of his range. Track 02 transports you into what you can imagine as your worst nightmare. Forget chinese water torture, just pop this in."
