"This 5-song EP is by far the best outing yet from The Amygdaloids. A fresh, collection of what they do best, songs about the inner life of our minds and feelings, weaving science artfully into the conversation."
"Using the language of love, regret, and all the other entries in the lexicon of rock and roll, Theory of My Mind translates the inquisitiveness of the laboratory onto the forceful expression of the stage."
"Dr. Joseph LeDoux, a professor of neuroscience at New York University, strode to the stage of the Cornelia Street Cafe in Greenwich Village...the audience--graduate students, publishing executives and scientists--greeted Dr. LeDoux with the enthusiasm usually reserved for rock stars."
“The Amygdaloids...perform songs whose lyrics are based on the scientists’ own research. The unique connection between science and rock music relates a new understanding of the human condition that reflects the increasing role of science in issues of the mind, body and social relations.”
"Roots rock shares a longneck with power pop at a legendary pub in a Nick Lowe dream. These songs, with their jangling Fenders and hooks that bounce off the Brill Building all the way to Topanga Canyon, will free your mind, and you know what happens next..." -Pete Kennedy (The Kennedys)
"The Amygdaloids offer a unique interpretation of what it means to think, and in these songs examine the scientific basis for our artistic impulses....the lyrics speak to the layman in all of us, our shared sense of cortex and medulla, and the way music makes our backbone twitch, our butt funky, and our feet keep a-slappin' on the floor, whether we're thinking about it or not." -Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group)
"Catchy melodies with lyrics inspired equally by the heart and the brain. What's not to like?" -Daniel J. Levitin, Author of "This Is Your Brain on Music"
