Anton Engdahl Loads of memorable themes and hooks on this! The somewhat poor production makes it difficult to hear what's going on at times, but this EP is still fantastic and great fun! Favorite track: Rainbow Bacon.

Michael Tokar When you want to put on something at a party that is mathy that your non-math-loving friends can enjoy, look no further than Axes. Favorite track: Let Me Tell You Something About Pepe.

Simon Nagy I've seldomly seen a band having so much fun on stage. The music sounds as if they were having the same in the studio as well. Axes' joyful math-rock easily evens out their rather blunt band name. Favorite track: Let Me Tell You Something About Pepe.

Heather RIFFFFFFFFSSSSSS, and excellent complex and downright prog-tastic basslines.

xrobxcorex Fuzzy production and three previously released songs means this EP isn't as great as I'd hoped but is still very very good and Axes are still kind of the last active instrumental math rock band in the UK that I still care about. Favorite track: Let Me Tell You Something About Pepe.

Liam McShane It's Axes, so it's gonna be awesome mathy fun...just feel the production is kinda lacking though? There's a harshness to the recordings that doesn't seem right. That could just be me.

Compare Fleetwood Math single to the Fleetwood Math album. Single sounds way better to me, less scooped out and richer. Favorite track: Middle East 17.

Amazing album, as is expected from these guys. Really technical and math-y stuff but still catchy and fun as hell. Would recommend a thousand times over. ethancoffee
