    • Motion Theory 2 October 2009 "Prog rock — you either love it or hate it (me, I can’t get enough!), but whichever side of the fence you’re on you should give Motion Theory a whirl. Unlike some of the more "difficult" prog their catchy and accessible melodic rock wasn’t overwhelmed by gratuitously bizarre time signatures or weird chord progressions — it had just enough surprises to keep it interesting, but stayed sane enough that you can dance to it...a big thumbs-up."

    • Motion Theory 17 September 2009 "Motion Theory, a band that explores the sounds of expansive, intricate rock and melodic nu metal indie. Technically Motion Theory are on to some really promising ideas and have the competence to see it through....Singer Dom has an impressive range...the guitar and bass work are superb...this band have all the makings of something special indeed."
