“Could anyone seriously have the audacity to say a negative word about the great 'MMM'? The first few seconds of epic 'Slam King' should confirm that as no, and when three unreleased live tracks are on the cards those uninitiated would be mad not to grab the opportunity of hearing this iconic listening experience." (9/10) - Terrorizer (by WS)
“I would venture to say that Japan is better known for artists and outfits espousing a more extreme vision—bands like Zeni Geva help to redress the balance with their marrying of familiar rock structures with a fiercely independent intelligence, and an intelligence not willing to yield to stasis. The vast majority of music, even that considered to be underground, exists within a comfort zone which it is often reluctant to step outside of. Not only do ZG step outside their own comfort zone, but they do so fearlessly and with both eyes very much firmly open.” - Brainwashed (by Simon Marshall-Jones)
“This is an album full of massive monolithic rotating burning riffs and skin peeling noise by an abrasive noise monster, a pounding Japanese noise rock barrage which is most impressive when grinding monotonously slow riffs booting your face.” - Gothtronic (by Remco)
