Breathtaking

""Sto Cazzo!" is one of the best albums I've heard so far this year, and easily the best math rock album of the year. At first this music just sounds like typical hardcore with sax thrown in for flavor, but the closer you listen the more intricate and complex it becomes. It has all of the mathematical precision of Shellac but with the intensity of Minor Threat. It is one of the few CDs that will not only beat you senseless but probably make you smarter. I can't recommend it enough."

Chicago Math Rock Kings Prevail

"This is one of the best math rock cd's to come out in years, and by my opinion, their personal best as well. Very strong emotion comes out in each song. The first track is one of mixed hardcore and math rock sounds infused with an acid jazz horn that tears through it all. The sax only taking breaks for lyrics and then back into intense rock. I have a personal connection to these guys as well, staying at their houses while in the area and they are as humble as there music is emotional. Very precise and and art inducing, you need a pencil or paint brush when listening. Love these boys."
