- "...Pale Obsession's songs are beautiful, catchy Rock music, accompanied by melodic keyboards. "between the shades" and "Tomorrow must be more" even have potential to become a real hit ! There is a lot of shit being played all day through the radios, which is not as good as even a bit of the songs of like Pale Obsession ! I can only hope that a scouting guy will hear them very soon and propose them a record deal... " -

- "Wherever this band comes from, they show an impressive potential in wave music. The 3 debut songs show relevant guitar-wave music with the some more melancholic sounding “Kiss The Sky†as main attention grabber. The best is yet to come with the pretty cool “Tomorrow Must Be More†as apotheosis. This song is more refined through the keyboard part reminding the delicacy of Wolfsheim while the global song has a touch of Deine Lakaien as well. This song for sure opens some perspectives! I’m really wondering what will come next!" -

- "With their professional attitude and their absolute great songs, PALE OBSESSION can easily measure themselves with topbands like HIM, SISTERS OF MERCY or NEGATIVE !! They should really take their chance and cross the borders to spread their great melodies all over the world... Definitely a new rock sensation from Luxembourg !!" -

- "Das ist ganz grosses Kino der düsteren Gefühle ! Mit der Leichtigkeit von HIM, der Tiefe und Melodiengewalt von Wolfsheim und der weichen Härte von Paradise Lost zu "Symbol of Life"-Zeiten entfachen die 6 Luxemburger von Pale Obsession ein wahres Feuerwerk der Emotionen. Wunderschöne Keyboard- und Pianoklänge im Einklang mit saftigen Riffs und einer über alles erhabenen Stimmgewalt von Joe MAY entführen den Hörer in eine wild-romatische Genussreise, die schöner nicht sein kann ! ...

- "...Pale Obsession are a fantastic Waverock formation from Luxembourg ! Their atmospheric and bombastic sounds immediately reminds you bands like "HIM" or "Paradise Lost" ! A&R agents are searching for new sounds, Pale Obsession supply catchy melodies and finest hooklines, guitar backdrops, professional attitude and emotional lyrics. They should definitely cross the borders to present their music to foreign countries... " -

- "...Fans of finnish rock music like "The Rasmus" and "negative" will find a real alternative in Pale Obsession ! Their songs "Between the shades" and "Tomorrow must be more" even have a huge amount of "pop-appeal", which leads to one conclusion : definitely a very interesting first EP of this newcomer Band !!!

- "...The rocking guitars in "between the shades" are perfectly underlined by the melodic keyboards. Together with the growling bass lines an Joe's superbe voice, they perfectly complete the songs ! I can only say : RESPECT !!!... " -

- "...Joe knows how to use his voice in the best way, without being theatrical. No wonder they made it to the top of the local chart lists ! Songs like "Tomorrow must be more" have a really awesome melody, with hit potential ! I immediately set my CD player to "repeat"... " -
