PRIVET EARTH! has made an album that conjures up images and provokes the mind into probing your senses and I can only applaud him for that.”

"PRIVET EARTH! is what rock'n'roll is all about!.."

“This band (PRIVET EARTH!) might as well already be on MTV... When that day comes (because sooner or later it will come), we’ll say with intelligent arrogance, “We told you so!” **The Album received the highest score (9 out of 10) among new rock releases on the site.”
