A few reviews from the CDBABY site: Reviewer: Spam It's fan-fucking-tastic. Three cheers to Agent Moulder and TC! Woooooooooo! I'd recommend this to ANYONE. It's a work of art, and it's songs are sheer beauty. I can't wait for a second album. :-D Reviewer: hevi This is the best goth/industrial/darkwave album i've ever seen and heard. I go to the other, hypnotic world when listening to it. Absolutely great and I'm really really glad that I have it. Reviewer: Ashette Fucking ace. That's all I need to say- original, different and IMO, beautiful. Reviewer: Leah; The Bathroom Wall Chrome Recordings Review March 2004 The Chrome Recordings cannot in anyone's rational world, be compared to anything I have ever heard. We can play the "it sounds sort of like a ______________ meets ______________ hybrid with no teeth and a tail with a little influence from ______________ when they were in thier __________ era" game , but I really feel like doing that would take away from the beauty and much-deserved praise this record is entitled to. TC and Robin Moulder came into this endeavor not really knowing what they were in for. Now, three years later, the product of a project that began only in theory has been realized and has exceeded every expectation. Upon first hearing this record, I listened with the intentional sterility of a critic- jotting down notes about each track as I went through. I brought it in the car with me. I missed a turn and drove through a neighborhood I did not know very well. I felt like I was in a movie. It occurred to me that I should really be driving a sleek black automob. and wearing dark sunglasses. I had the music loud and i could hear all of the little background sounds and layers that I didn't catch the first time. At points, I felt a little frightened. especially during the interludes, thus making me appriciate them even more, as they are a necessity if not only for the sole purpose of being extremely unnerving. If I were going to write a horror movie, The Chrome Recordings would be the soundtrack. If I were going to write a love story, I'd turn it into a rock opera that is this record! It is packed with incredible examples of vocal layering, gorgeous guitar and bass lines, killer beats, and fantastic breakdowns that set the tone for issues of death, obsession, lonliness, self-acceptance, abuse, strength, and other situations that are addressed within the spectrum of the album. It's been a long time since I have felt such a huge range of emotions while listeneing to a single record. Robin Moulder and TC have proven not only to be phenominal musicians on the cutting edge of their profession, but also very real and kind-hearted individuals who are willing to give back to thier supporters. They have managed to keep it together while living halfway across the country from eachother and holdinghas just now totally derailed the mainstream of jewelcases as we know it. I look at my CD collection and mourn the symmetrical monotony of all the cracked and scratched plastic. The covers don't even stay on anymore! The Chrome Recordings is one CD, case and all, that you won't let slide under the seat of your car. Dance party to makeout session, this record will not only make you the envy of all your friends, it'll get you laid!
