5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Debut Since........, 2 April 2002
By A Customer
......well since so far back I can't remember. This band take in a HELL of a lot of ground, from the jarring angular structures of Tool, right through to some of the most unearthly sounds you've ever heard. They also occasionally hit a groove that brings up shades of Kyuss - to me anyway. The range of songs is also impressive, from the in-your-face-ness of 'Fits...' and 'Rivets' through the brooding metal of 'Pure' to the stunning 'Shine' this is a band you ignore at your peril. They don't want to be huge, but it will happen regardless if subsequent releases follow this awesome beginning.

5.0 out of 5 stars British metal is on the rise!, 27 Sep 2001
By Gavin Lee (Dundee, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Miocene have been hailed as Britains answer to Tool. Miocene along with bands such as Lostprophets, Crackout, Landmine Spring and Kilkus show that the rock world in the UK is developing into a country with something to prove. Although at first the album didn't strike me as nothing special it slowly grew on me and I've realised that this is a very good album. They have a very good raw sound and this would be a must for all you UK metal fans out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars fresh new hardcore, brilliant live act put on disc, 8 May 2001
By A Customer
there an amazing live act, and this album is evan better, they are one of the most vibrant new groups around at the moment. they pulse energy in there performance and this is one of the most listenable albums you will get from a relitively new group, and its got some really good tunes on it. best i think is probely 'Fits Like That'. but all in all a good album and well worth checking out,and deffinetly try and see them live if u get the chance
