“Sound on par with some of the best Depeche Mode tracks ever recorded. If you’re a fan of Depeche Mode or Erasure you must make a point not to miss this release.”
Rhapsody / Yahoo

“Like the very best dance music of the past two decades, Ready Fire Aim’s compelling beat guides listeners to the dance floor and then cajoles them to think while their groove things are shaken and stirred.”
Brian Baker - Amplifier Magazine

“Ready Fire Aim make clear their campaign to excise the dead cells of insincere hit-makers with an expression that is simultaneously warm and dark, hollow and hopeful, and painful yet endearing.”

“Ready Fire Aim = Old School Depeche Mode + New School Depeche Mode + Fischerspooner”
Slug Magazine

“Playful, modern and highly likeable, loaded with genuinely well constructed songs and flawless vocals that owe less to influence and more to the ideal collaboration of renaissance-man Sage Rader and the adventurous DJ Shaun “Stakka” Morris.”
Deadbolt Magazine

““This Changes Nothing” sounds like it has stepped freshly out of a time machine or a DeLorean racing at 88 miles per hour from the late 1980s and early '90s. Ready Fire Aim can be a sweet pill but it has a few secrets.”
Plug In Music

“In a similar electro-pop vein as Depeche Mode and Human League, only with a little more casual grit so as to grip your mind but still make you dance.”
PopMatters

“Sometimes soft, sometimes dirty, and incorporating both the grittiness of underground techno and the polished modernity of the mainstream, Ready Fire Aim's debut seems full of promise, both musically and commercially.”
Matthew Johnson - ReGen Magazine

“Virtually all of these twelve tracks sound like hits.”

“The album is a beautiful, intelligent, masterfully crafted flight.”
Big Shot Magazine

“The tunes are dark foreboding episodes likely to capture the heart and minds of sonic explorers with respect for song structure and voluminous atmosphere such as Depeche Mode and the likes.”
Parasites & Syncophants

“It's a fairly robust sound and fans of old school new wave and modern synth pop alike - and those who just wanna bust a move on the dance floor - should all find something agreeable here.”
Raves.com

“Sage Rader’s vocals at times resemble Martin Gore, a-ha and even Perry Farrell and it beautifully goes together with Stakka’s mixture of refreshed synth pop with Nine Inch Nails alike guitars and beats.”
Lukasz Napora - Sound Revolt

“The drive of Interpol and Depeche Mode, the nu-wave vibe of INXS and the down-tempo feeling of Hot Chip”
My Crazy Blog

"This Changes Nothing," is a fantastic trip through some brilliant pop hooks as well as being a deep, intrinsic peek at what is bound to be the new face of American electronic music.
Scott "Dr. Music" Itter - The M Files

“Stakka's beat-driven style and Sage Rader's voice emit a surreal and seductive feel where both lyrics and music grab a hold of your senses and never let go.”
Aced Magazine

“Rader and Morris have the ability to make the seamless transition from minimalist synth-pop to grandiose depictions of dance with keys, guitars, and varying degrees of percussion on full display over Rader’s suitably ardent vocals.”
Obscure Sound

“A mesmerizing debut. Ready Fire Aim’s debut album begs to be heard.”

“Dance-worthy tunes crafted by the gloomy side of the keyboard.”
Spill Magazine

“Their debut CD entitled This Changes Nothing has just been released and it is a synth-pop delight. The sound is reminiscent of Leiahdorus, Depeche Mode’s early years, and a bit of The Postal Service.”
The Plugg

“Dystrophic dreams of music from the future”
Sound Word

“A twisted, hyper-processed and hypnotic sound that truly sets them apart.”
Babble and Beat
