"Kuma's debut reaches out and hooks you. Serious or fun, beautiful or scary, each song has its delights and sonic surprises. The sound is full, the segues are inspired, and the mix works like an extra band member or captures the action like a well-placed camera. The songs draw on all kinds of rock, from pop to metal to little bits o' country and soul, but you can't pin down the influences to somebody's record collection. These guys love music, and their music is easy to love." -PERFECT SOUND FOREVER
