Press Reviews "Here we have one of the finest-sounding, most intelligently played independent releases I've heard in a very long time...each player rises above the collective sound, what results is an invigorating audio stew that makes the listener pay attention, every second of the way...play this with headphones, or not at all...this gets my strongest recommendation." James Bickers 'Sea of Tranquility" "...these extremely talented musicians have combined innovative song writing with an abundance of memorable parts and hooks to create an aural Armageddon. Daring listeners will be taken to all corners of human musical pleasure, from a massage of the intellectual brain to a soft caressing of the ear lobes."(CR) 4 1/2 out of 5 from 'Edge of Time' "Excellent stuff here! This psychotic Jazzy Progressive Metal is totally insane and of a superior level, musically speaking...an all-around jewel..." 4 out of 5 Soundscape "deliciously sick..." Philadelphia City Paper "...not your everyday progressive band...in times where instrumental prog metal bands like Gordian Knot and Spastic Ink put new life into the stagnating genre, bands like Dysrhythmia shows that they can go even further." 9 out of 10 Pascal Thiel 'Disagreement Online' "...the record Sonic Youth would make if they cared more about heavy metal, the record Slayer would do if they were art-school nerds." Philadelphia City Paper "...usurps from the lands of punk, metal and jazzy experimentation, and lovingly adheres to none of them long enough to create anything more than some sort of hyperactive free rock." 'Philadelphia Weekly' "...these guys could be unstoppable" 'Alternative Press'
