John Cratchley One review called this "a masterpiece"...well,no...not really...that's a terrible poison chalice to saddle any new band with. Some people have also called this 'math rock'...well,if that means precise rhythms,breakneck unison playing and eccentric time signatures (the drummer sometimes sounds like a rock-drill on steroids),then that would have been a term to apply to the Mahavishnu Orchestra or,indeed,Troyka...another review called this "like nothing you've ever heard"...well,no...
No,this is a very good workout with some interesting ideas but they can be repetitive without a sense of development,I think. It actually works better when it slows down a bit and takes a breath and becomes less autistic...
Technically very challenging but emotionally a little arid in places. It is a rewarding listen but this band have a lot more development in the tank and don't need the over-hype...

James Harris I wrote a long story while listening to this album but all you really need to know is the main character gets hit by a bus at the end. Favorite track: Reset.

Kronos An incredible continuation of where 1-13 left off, Route One Or Die is even tighter and more fun than the group's first three EPs and sports their best performances yet, especially in the case of Adam Betts' incomparable drumming. Favorite track: Reset.
