PRESS QUOTES

“The missing link between Pink Floyd and the 21st century…should be as anachronistic as loon pants and On The Buses but oddly it works”

– Q

“Like the Superfurries PRR challenge prog prejudice, mastering the contrast between blissed out inner-space odysseys and rocking abandon."

– Uncut

---

“A jaw-droppingly ambitious feat that’s about to set a whole new precedent for the genre…by updating the legacies of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin with the earth-shattering heaviness of modern masters like Muse.”

– Rocksound

---

“When Pure Reason Revolution go big it’s like a tree falling on you. They can rage and rattle like a meteor shower on a tin roof but then take pause with a vocal swathe that recalls The Beach Boys.”

– Classic Rock

---

“The Dark Third commands complete attention. A record you can live inside for weeks.”

– Spill

---

"Pure Reason Revolution are hypnotic, even on this small stage. Their music may be rooted in Pink Floyd but it knows corners far darker and heights more dizzying."

– Kerrang

---

“For a band lauded as giving a modern lease of life to prog they are playing in a venue crammed with the young, the fashionably dressed and the trendily coiffeured. Beneath the delicious dirge there’s a strong pop heart beating and that’s what makes them special."

– Classic Rock.

“An amazing piece of work.”

– John Kennedy XFM

“It’s probably just as well that we’ve had to wait this long for the shameless joy that is Pure Reason Revolution. The hour that it takes The Dark Third to play through seems barely 10 of your earth minutes, so bedazzling is its range of ideas. Arguably, if prog rock had been this good the first time around there would have been no need for punk.”

– Zero

“If The Beach Boys and Pink Floyd had recorded together the results could not have been more inspiring than the sound made by Pure Reason Revolution."

– The Sun

---

“The have replaced prog pomposity with punkish enthusiasm.”

– The Guardian

---

“This is an album full of daring and imagination. It runs gleefully down the indie ‘up’ escalator, messing up bullet-proof fringes in a cloud of patchouli oil. We should be grateful for PRR’s unfashionable bravery”

– Disorder

---

“Pure Reason Revolution are NOT prog rock. What they are is a gloriously epic, big sounding, easy-flowing mercifully pressure free delight of a band….rule breaking song structures and gloriously daring song construction, a musical adventure that really gets out there past the point of no return. Great big slices of the finest earfood.”

– The Organ
