Kerrang, Metal Hammer, Classic Rock & Rock Sound Magazine Reviews Category: Music
Kerrang! An engrossing debut from epic hearted British Rockers. Formerly known as Audioslave (the US supergroup actually purchased the name from them) this Liverpool quartet have made a serious case for their own share of the spotlight. Opening track Programmed gives no indication of the dark delights to come, music with depth and fragile emotions backed up by that rarest of things genuine quality. Their influences probably start with Nirvana and end with The Killers, crucially without sounding like either. The brilliant Silent Type and The Pianist scope through the formers rough hewn intensity before buffing it up with the latters melancholic pop sensibility. The Most Terrifying Thing are a richly rewarding find. For fans of Nirvana and Oceansize. 4/5
Metal Hammer Magazine Victoriana is a startling debut. A work that recalls the giddy thrash of early Slayer, with the twinkling harmonies of Biffy Clyro. Theres a touch of their scouse heritage about them too, and Tiamos Merseybeat styled stomp recalls The Beatles if theyd existed in an age of Marshall stacks and fuzz pedals! 7/10
Classic Rock Magazine This is the debut from the Liverpool quartet originally called Audioslave, and the quality suggests they can make a living from their song writing as opposed to flogging band names to rock glitterati. Ignoring their hometowns skiffle legacy in favour of an epic brand of US-flavoured rock, TMTT are earnest enough to get hands tapping on steering wheels, yet angular enough to stop themselves being played at half-time in basketball games. Highlight Pop Song is in good company! 7/10
Rock Sound Magazine The Liverpudlian four-piece sound like they sprung out of the early 90s Seattle scene with a bunch of dynamic and melodic songs written with filling arenas in mind. Standout Track Programmed
