“The album consist of 10 songs and the style is classic hard rock with a good dose of southern rock and a little blues. I think of bands like Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Rhino Bucket and Danish Switchblade. My favorites are the album opener "Prison Train" and "Killing Time", "POD" and the title song "Age of Wisdom." In addition, I think the softer and very Lynyrd Skynyrd-inspired "Flame Burns Out" is worth a listen. On this track, the band also uses flute and slide guitar, which gives the song a bit of extra atmosphere. Overall, Age Of Wisdom has some completely excellent songs, at least if you like any of those bands. I think there's great guitar work on the CD in the form of good solos and that slide guitar.”

“BAD THINGS - Age Of Wisdom Reviewed by: Alexander Meyer Rating: 9 This self-produced record has already almost half a year on the hump, however, it is absolutely worth mentioning. The opener "Prison Train" seems very AC/DC-ish, and "Killing Time" with its cool riff and the vocal exchange between guitarist Don Sloan and bassist Harvey Jackson, is a true earworm (gets stuck in one’s head). Anyhow these four Rednecks from Oklahoma become to me more likeable from track to track. Their mixture of traditional Rock `N Roll and Southern Rock sound totally authentic to me and is a welcome change to the many “quick overnight sensation hypes” of these days. The twin harmony guitars in “Revolution Man” resemble Wishbone Ash or Thin Lizzy, and the next one "Where Few Have Tread" is rather bluesish. Even if the snare sound leaves something to be desired, I would gladly with pleasure like to recommend BAD THINGS.”

— Alexander Meyer, MyRevelations.de

"Debut album from this blues tinged metal band, and it’s very down and dirty. It kicks off almost southern rock style; they have been described as a cross between Molly Hatchet and Motorhead, which is quite understandable. By the fourth track “Revolution Man” it’s pretty grungy rock’n’roll...There’s a nod to AC/DC in there too, but it’s hidden under the dirt...it’s not until “Flame Burns Out” that the pace changes with a more acoustic southern feel, while “Better Than You” has a sleazy feel some stand out guitar work."

— Joe Geesin, Get Ready to Rock UK

"…To the delight of Southern Rock fans, a new band from Tulsa, Oklahoma…with a lava 2 guitar sound…with Sabbath contributing to the sound and the lyrics Blue Oyster Cult...it continues with the boogie “Prison Train”…and “Numb” reminds us of Sabbath’s "Master Of Reality" or "Vol. 4". Then there's the highlight “Flame Burns Out” which best reminds us of Skynyrd (even with flute and acoustic guitar plus slide). And the slide makes it fun, but the song too is a beautiful ballad. And want mo' boogie? Then there’s “Better Than You,”...the song has everything that a boogie train needs, and the odd lead sing style...reminds us of Spooky Tooth’s “Better Than Me, Better By You,” a comparison which is of course encouraged by the almost same song title. At "P.O.D." we are then musically back in Blue Oyster Cult country...dark riffs, even darker lyrics, now and then a boogie, but otherwise Sabbath lava, all well-produced and well-presented and entertaining."
