    This combination of fluidity and structure makes Frying On This Rock an absorbing, headphone-centric listen that only demands that the listener turn up the volume and hand over control.

    It stands on its own two feet and crucially employs a refinement of ideas that proves that space is indeed deep.

    The band's ferocity seems subdued here, and the road burn a little more pronounced... Regardless, plenty of it does the trick. [March 2012, p.81]
