    Overall, the 12-track Resistance merges R&B, soul, electro and funk in a package that's compact and complete.

    This is actually a joyful, bouncing album. [Oct 2018, p.68]

    Coleman absorbs and converts all the energy into something else: a joyous act of opposition to unacknowledged tyranny.

    Brandon Coleman's debut album is a funk-fuelled cacophony that some will adore, but its over-commitment to a narrow sound means that, unless you fall in love, you may find limited replay-ability in this album.

    Resistance is an ample, though sometimes stretched-thin, mix of the old and the new; a debut record dubbed by the label as a "funk odyssey," it appears remarkably well polished.

    If his work with Washington contains all the weight and gravitas of Sunday church, Coleman’s Resistance has all the fun, breeziness--and yes, sunlight—of an afternoon church picnic.

    A memorable, albeit inconsistent, record by an unabashed futurist steeped in funk, jazz, electronica, and everything in-between.
