"This EP may not sound like it was painstakingly handcrafted over years, or recorded and produced by guys who charge $3,000 an hour, but what it does have is this incredibly cozy and personal 'guy-in-his-bedroom-writing-songs-for-fun' aesthetic, making for a fast, friendly and fun four tracks. This EP sounds heavily influenced by early Weezer, but with the lofi production and fuzz cranked up to the max. The chords, the choruses, the guitar tones, it all just screams Weezer to me, and I love that because... not enough other bands scratch that same itch." — Izzle's Review Vault

"I feel like I've dusted off some long-lost songs sandwiched between 'Holiday' and 'The Good Life' on a demo tape in an old box in Rivers Cuomo's attic. I'd be absolutely shocked if Simian Cyborg's lone music-maker Brian claimed that he'd never heard of Weezer, because the influence here is palpable, especially on standout track 'Eliza Parry.' And that's a good thing, as Simian Cyborg's sugary sweet melodies soar over the crunchiest of guitars. The music leaves you with a satisfaction like the one you've found when you've just finished chomping on your favorite hard candy." — The Braindrain
