Press Reviews
"Four stars. . . . Brazen music backs up authoritative vocals for a truly memorable listening experience. The lyrics are fresh and poignant, rendered in a tone of driving urgency. In contrast, the several spoken-word tracks are soft, clear, and possessed of devastating imagery. . . . outstanding . . . with maximum interest for fans of fantasy literature and/or rock music. Most highly recommended."
-Elizabeth Barrette, Spicy Green Iguana

Karen Michalson, the untamable voice behind Point Of Ares, delivers a wild performance that is sparklingly dark - a sort of premonition-filled sonic reverberation that often accompanies the exploding nightmares - molds the stories and creates pulsating hallucinatory images that lead you into the blissful abyss. Art Rock from the darkness."
-Stavros Moschopoulos, FAO CASA

"Point Of Ares has once again managed to capture both the ennui and exuberance of the band's musical feel. Satirical, poignant,with a beat that'll move you like no other. The band is multi-talented with an extraordinary skill for lyrical imagery. The tunes always shine through from the harmonies, puns and poetry. No short-term music from this band! This CD explodes and don't miss the boat on this one! Inspired writing with a disc well-packaged, both musically and visually."
-Barry Metz, Island Gazette
