"Together live, they produce an intense percussion explosion like NASCAR drivers speeding around the track and crashing at every turn. Depending on the moment, Bazinet will pound away at his drum set or grab the mic and preach to the crowd as he combines little boy charm with a devilish streak." - The Stranger
"Albeit the number of musicians that try to create music with this radical mixing of styles are far and few between, SMP outshine their brethren with a practiced ease." - Sonic Boom
"A proven player in the underground industrial scene nationwide, SMP continues to deliver the sounds that we all want to hear." - Industrial Bible
"These motherf*ckers jam! All the elements of surprise are wrapped up in a teched out disaster of clanking metal and hyper-beats fused with rapped vocals." - Gear Magazine
"Hardcore rap beats from the late 80's, distortion from the industrial revolution, lyrics pure punk, SMP is in your face and louder than hell...the beat molestation alone would rate this album top notch." - Aiding & Abetting
"With their driving beats, richly textured sample overlays, and their ability to rap your a** straight back into the Hell you already live in. You can't lose with this ever so untypical CD in your collection." - Permission
"This album makes the best elements of rap music into an all out industrial dance assault capable of keeping any dance floor packed. Play this loud!" - Terra Industrial
"SMP avoids the overkill trap that a lot of industrial bands fall into; its songs are straight-ahead and even catchy at times." - CMJ
"From the quick kick of punk to the hardcore slam of rap, from the electronic pulse of techno to the skin-ripping intensity of industrial. SMP is an in-your-face, slam-bam-no-thank-you-ma'am that takes no prisoners." - Chanticleer
