Reviews
| . Brainstorm jumped above their heads: they were not afraid to increase the degree of sociality in the lyrics (the best is “About the Guru”), they took Gustavo, his brothers in arms from Caste, as well as the gospel choir and Turkish strings into the allies of the Latvian hip-hopper and packed the result cover with illustrations by artist Otto Zitmanis. The result was the best album of the group and the most important record for today's post-Soviet space. |
- Boris Barabanov writes in the Kommersant magazine [1]
| By and large, in front of us - all the same Brainstorm, bright and romantic. It was not succeeded to reach only one - organicity. |
- writes Ilya Zinin in Rolling Stone magazine [2]
