" A solo vehicle for multi-instrumentalist Teddie Tapawan, Smart Apple melds elements of funk, blues, grunge, metal and rapcore into a melodic alt-rock sound with considerable commercial appeal. Accomplished and appealing in every aspect, from writing to arranging and production, this solid follow-up to last year's The Adventures Of One... EP proves Smart Apple is no flash in the fruit bowl.: "
