    Wolf & Cub have composed such a strong debut. This album is solid from start to finish. It swings between dance funk to thundering drone with such effortless abandon that the album continues to be surprising and rewarding with every listen.

    once u hear This Miss, you'll be hooked. the marvelous thing about Wolf & Cub is that they're not a one trick pony, their music spans lots of styles and genres. Vessels rewards the listener with each listen.

    if every album was this consistently good, the world would be a better place. favourites would have to be "Kingdom" and "Rozalia Bizarre".

    All said, the album’s capably produced by Tony Doogan, Secret Machines aspirations and all, and it’s a debut wrapped in sophomore expansion, a third of a universe away from anything deservedly cosmic and anything appropriately full.

    A fierce vision quest of psychedelic riffs 'n' roll that manages to sound like hard rock, shoegazer and new rave all within the same song, yet never feeling forced or false. [Mar 2007, p.98]

    Wolf & Cub manage to fill Vessels to the brim with irreverent guitar solos, pounding bass lines, and, well, let's just say they have two drummers for a good reason. [#24, p.102]
