"Intense, Dramatic Guitar Rock!", Guitar Nine Records(April,2005)

"High-intensity, blues fused leads, Thomas creates a very listener-friendly vibe over the thirteen tracks."
"Tasteful,bluesy fills, Wah inflicted solos improvising over the aggressive, alcohol-soaked groove."
"This is the kind of rock that is best enjoyed at a ripping loud volume and large supply of your favorite inebriates."
"It'll take you back, and bring you forward again."
