REVIEWS

UNDER THE RADAR: “To kick it off you have a combination of acoustic guitars and synths (which could easily go astray), but its when all the layers are added you are confronted with quite the wall of noise.” 7.4/10 Read the rest of the review here.

REAL GROOVE: “There’s plenty of easy comparisons to be made, overall Gary Numan and Depeche Mode are often thought of from the older regime and Pretty Hate Machine-era Nine Inch Nails for the more caustic stuff…. Battletech is the best underground album I’ve heard in some time.” 4/5 Read the rest of the review here.

EINSTEIN MUSIC JOURNAL: “Sprouting multiple seeds of futuristic punk, alien grunge, contorted new-wave and geographically nondescript Brit-pop, Battletech provides a moderately eclectic genre fix… For a solo debut, Battletech is well guided and ambitious.” 7/10 Read the rest of the review here.

DATEMONTHYEAR: “Make no mistake, this is an emphatic statement from someone who has clearly found his feet musically and lyrically.” Read the rest of the review here. (scroll down)

RIP IT UP: “A low budget mix of Nirvana and New Order? Big words to throw out, one would agree, bit I’ll be damned if I can’t say that the comparison, while not overtly true, is certainly not hyperbolic… What could be accomplished given a larger budget is something to think about after gleefully listening to it over and over again.” 7/10 Read the rest of the review here.

The record was also featured on Fark.com’s music tab, and the comments (unbelievably positive by Fark standards) can be read here.
