Dec 6, 2011Glass Swords is like a 12 puppies wrapped up in a cybernetic ball of cookie dough. It's the epitome of fresh. Horrible review, I know, but it needed to be said.

Mar 5, 2012There is nothing out there that comes even close to this. I mean where else can you get Hip Hop, The Legend of Zelda, Prog-rock and Daft Punk all in the same place?

Feb 3, 2015I like the production styles used by Rustie, punchy, boosted basslines, light and sparkly treble sounds, but I think his style may be slightly borrowed from Hudson Mohawke. Neverthesless, I enjoyed Glass Swords thoroughly, however heavily favoring some tracks over others. Some tracks are too bland or simple in rhythm to be completely loved.
