A Very Promising Start
It isn't good to sound like another band, but there's nothing wrong with reminding you of another band. Gregor Samsa could remind you of any of the bands mentioned above, without sounding like they've stolen their sound. This ep rewards repeated listenings. Like GYBE, or Mogwai, the songs build from slow and melodic into crescendos; the sonic equivalent of a calm sea...

zzzz...snore.....
The last track is the only track on this CD that I can listen to without getting irritated. You'd think that slow tracks with an ambient-quality to them, no matter how mediocre, would at the very least lull you sleep you. Nope. This CD lacks originality and vision and Gregor Samsa need to disband stop distributing their crap to the poor unsuspecting world. The one star in...

A Very Promising Start, December 19, 2002
This review is from: Gregor Samsa (Audio CD)
It isn't good to sound like another band, but there's nothing wrong with reminding you of another band. Gregor Samsa could remind you of any of the bands mentioned above, without sounding like they've stolen their sound. This ep rewards repeated listenings. Like GYBE, or Mogwai, the songs build from slow and melodic into crescendos; the sonic equivalent of a calm sea giving way to crashing waves. I had the pleasure of seeing them open for Interpol in December 2002 and I was very impressed. If you like any of the bands that they've been compared to, this ep is well worth checking out. Cool packaging, too.

shoegazing bliss, December 13, 2002
This review is from: Gregor Samsa (Audio CD)
Gregor Samsa at first sound reminds me greatly of the band that "post rock" was first attributed to: Bark Psychosis. The vocals are very reminiscent of that band as is some of the instrumentation. This EP would have fit nicely with early 90's 4AD bands like Swallow as well as shoegazer giants Slowdive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to chillout for awhile without falling asleep. Morphine for the ears.

The one star in this review is for the super sweet design of their CD and witty band name. When all you've got going for you in a cool band name and nice album design however, grrrrr.....
