"..Would you immagine how whould it sound the child of Mike Patton and Daniel Glindelow?...Defining the music of 81db is quite complicated, because although it is a style very close to progressive, wears so many labels that it is best that you listen and decide what to call yourself. If you're tired of listening again and again the same, this undoubtedly is your band!" 4/5
Daniel Delantero - metalfreakweb

“Fantasy and creativity, don't leave any doubt and the intriguing mixture of progressive metal and alternative rock, devised by 81db, seems to offer the right chance to surprise even the lovers of the less conventional and stereotyped stylistic solutions. Leveraging on well constructed atmospheres and a basically neverending research for unpredictable sudden changes, the foursome reaffirm their potential; we eagerly look forward to a positive development in the short term, as 81db deserve respect”

“un ottimo lavoro, un debutto sulla lunga distanza per di piu, che, per il momento, merita di attivare i “sensori” dell’attenzione di tutti i sostenitori dell’alternative music e del cosiddetto crossover, e per il futuro potrebbe, con l’ulteriore incremento della maturita, consegnare al “genere” un gruppo davvero “superiore”.”
