"These monsters are simply amazing, the four-piece make blunderbuss's of songs that would give Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Mogwai nightmares. A vicious, energetic and loud-enough-to-be-pornographic live show." - Sandman Magazine
"These Monsters are certainly becoming an increasingly fearsome and excruciatingly impressive live prospect. During the middle of the set I take a casual glance around the packed room to notice that not one person is talking, all eyes on the band and all jaws on the floor." - Leedsmusicscene.net
"Time has frozen as witnesses halt in their tracks, intoxicated by the heady miasma of post-rock resonance, both comforting and devastating." - The Fly Magazine
"They look like a bunch of very talented tramps." - Contact Music
"They look like they've come in off the street after a three day bender, complete with questionable fashion accessories, headbands for pity's sake! These Monsters definitely have it in the riffs, simply phenomenal!" - BBC Raw Talent
"These Monsters 'Fleets Of Black Hovercraft Anchored In Space' is without question an epic, truly gargantuan, the soundtrack to an as yet unscripted scifi movie."
- Tasty Fanzine
"I was left mesmerised, their set resembled a mystical journey through time and space. With their enchanting, almost obnoxiously heavy songs the room begins to resemble a cult worshipping the screaming guitars." - No Title Magazine
"They were nicely loud and played as if in ritual combat! Each instrument was audible, each idea was planned and executed with style and the whole audience had a damn good time. It was my first encounter and I was hugely impressed." - Whisperin & Hollerin
"One of the most interesting and engaging acts I’ve heard from the UK in a long fucking time – no word of a lie." - Collective-zine
Album of the Week – Organ Magazine
"If These Monsters can pull together a debut album with anything close to the vision, ideas and musicianship as this EP they will definitely become the U.K's answer to Explosions in the Sky." - The Silent Ballet
"Over and over These Monsters deliver a crashing landscape of deft intensity and unparalleled creativity. Few are as stunning or ambitious as These Monsters, I'm hard pressed to align These Monsters with another UK band because frankly there aren't any other UK artists I've heard doing anything remotely similar."
- Decoy Music
“Their sound appeals to mind and body simultaneously. The intensity, tempo and the sheer volume of their frantic performance is a physical sensation. With the deftness of melodic shifts, the delicate control and the casually brilliant assimilation of saxophone the band’s voice says a big HELLO to the mental and critical faculties. No dumbass stoners here and no pointless excursion to the Land of Twee as a means to make the crescendos stand up. These Monsters start big and loud, and get worse. Much worse.” - Sam Saunders at Leeds Festival 2008
