Sounds Like: 'This is both unsettling and strangely mesmeric. A fine collection of songs' Tasty fanzine 'Sounding overall like letting The Fall loose in a church; with one of those big sod off organs with the pipes that go through the roof, this demo from the peculiar The Marquis Of Queensbury Rules is both a bad idea and strangely captivating at the same time.' Godisinthetv 'un-listenable' Godisinthetv 'distorted bollocks... a dreary dirge. 2 Stars.' Godisinthetv'The Marquis of Queensbury Rules have come up with the fuzzy, borderline-impenetrable soundtrack to their own new religion. The dense aural fog lifts temporarily for My Plan Was Better which sounds like Nick Cave being suffocated. May the drone-rock Lord have mercy on their souls' Voices From Downtroddendom fanzine
