"England's Part Rocket follows in the footsteps of fellow political instrumentalists From Monument to Masses and 65 Days of Static in creating music that not only opens the ears, but also challenges the mind. Audio samples rest on top of blistering drum beats and ragged guitar lines to bring together a full emotional response that begs to liberate the mind from the conformist dogma. The band's recently released Kneel Before the Throne and Drink the Blood of Your Own boils Part Rocket down into two songs that are a bit lengthier than previously attempted, but pulls together the band's vision nicely. Adopting a quiet/loud approach, Part Rocket utilizes very patriotic sounding drummer boy style beats with anthem-like chords to string a cold juxtaposition to the haunting audio samples. "Cosby, Bills, and Cash" pushes this to the extreme end, combining aggressive post-rock and audio in the faux-impersonation of patriotism to combat the corruption underlying our society. When all is said and done Part Rocket stitches together a moving work of art that connects with the listener on multiple levels and engages it in ways that many acts care not to touch.
While the vision of Part Rocket is stellar, there is till room for maturity in the musical aspect of the band that could be extracted in order to achieve a more powerful emotional response from the music. As is, the band is exhibiting a solid line of progression in its music and showing all indicators that it is on its way to blossoming into a monumental the artistic force in the rock world."
