  1. Confirming everything that is great about Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, Come with Us is equal measures driving rhythms and euphoric, widescreen melodies.
  2. It's the sound of musicians realizing how good they are at what they do. And then doing it.
  3. It's not that Come With Us doesn't rock like a jet engine in a jewel case - it does - but it's more striking for the moments when a warped loveliness, like the icy, phased harpsichord gusts of "Pioneer Skies," wafts up and out from among the roar of the sirens and sequencers.

    For the most part it's a genuinely thrilling, energy-charged adventure. [Feb 2002, p.98]
  5. Come With Us is too much of a mixed bag to induce a full-length journey; it’s best experienced in short walkabouts.
  6. There are certain things they do very well, yet they don't seem to be content with being pigeonholed as one-dimensional. Unfortunately, one-dimensional is about the only thing they can pull off convincingly.

    Too often, all it offers is the rumble of starting engines. [Feb 2002, p.124]

It is probably reminiscence of some LCD (for Just listen "The test".It does not intend to be emotionally affecting.It is phantasmagorical. It is probably reminiscence of some LCD (for example) experience.All CB music is like other, parallel and more beautiful reality and every CB album is discovery of a new aspect of that syntethical paradise.
