"Achille Lauro is a ridiculously good band. Listening to it is like having the volume turned down on everything else you've heard recently. The act's range of influence is so huge -- from '90s guitar rock to reggae to hip-hop to electronica to shameless chart-topper pop -- and it incorporates these disparate elements in a way that is both natural and unique. Achille Lauro is the rare sort of group whose artistic vision is completely uncompromising and matched only by its ability to make people dance."-Kiernan Maletsky, Westword 12/14/09===="Truly, Achille Lauro are one of Denver’s best and constantly underrated atmospheric rock bands, and one that deserves a national audience."-John Wenzel, The Denver Post Reverb 12/16/09===="In terms of the opening three bands, however, Achille Lauro's set stood out. The outfit's meditative and eloquent guitar lines, deepened by frontman Matt Close's sinuous synth lines and emotive vocals, made for a grounded and consistent set. Guitarist Luke Mossman offered plaintive and expertly plucked lines, a constant boon that helped carry the group's set."-A.H Goldstein, Westword 08/3/09
