Reviews, 2007:
"(The members of) Atlanta's Slow Motion Crash have logged some serious time in the shadowy corners of this music, incorporating the anxious atmospherics into a sound that invites comparisons to other bands without slavishly imitating any of them. The spiky keyboard riff that laces through "5th and Incident," the insistent drums and dissonant guitar clash of "Trail of Tears," the quirky push and pull of "Mirrors & Conflict" -- these moments nod to the joys of your older brother's crates of old Love and Rockets and Fugazi records while creating a melancholic tension that rings just as true in the here and now. "
-Kevin Forest Moreau, Sunday Paper
"Slow Motion Crash, have channeled their love for ‘80s new wave/goth into a new hybrid that sounds totally relevant in 2007. These songs have catchy, sing-along choruses, and the band members are not afraid to whip out a synthesizer to get their point across, and good for them. Sounds that were at one time considered passe are now new again — and actually refreshing...tracks that make up this release are grandiose, proud songs that are performed with conviction and no sense of self-importance."
-Jon Dawson, Performer Magazine
"These local boys and girls sure do play some gothically ethereal (or ethereally gothic?) shit. Joy Division and Interpol comparisons are inevitable. Thankfully, they do put their heart into it, resulting in some ass-shaking jams and dark lyrics that actually sound convincing."
- Mark Sanders, Creative Loafing (Atlanta)
