"...timbrally inventive, structurally curious, “Thank You.." is an album of rare invention." (The Wire)
"Come se i Roxy Music incontrassero Air, Scott Walker, DJ Shadow e Van Dyke Parks..." (Blow Up)
"Die einzige wirklich vergleichbare Platte, die den Poprahmen so gründlich sprengt, ohne das Areal zu verlassen, ist Sulk vom britischen Duo The Associates, deren dekadent glitzerndes Anarcho-Charisma Zeit- und Stilgenossen wie etwa New Order oder Ultravox neben sich aussehen ließ wie –die Schlümpfe." (Jazzthetik)
"When I first heard Alex Wiemer's voice I knew I'd absolutely love to produce the band... plus Niklas David is a very inspired keyboarder and I like those, too, and of course their music... it reminded me of the music I listened to as a young teenager, namely the beat music of the British Invasion. I was really into that, but apart from groups like the Monks, this music has gone downhill since 1966 - at least from what I've heard. I thought I could discern this kind of spirit that drove beat music of my early days in Audiac's music." (H.J. Irmler, Faust)
