"LOL. I guess it's because I put a lot of thought and a lot of work into each cover. Thanks for the compliment! "
frizbee"I don't actually know how I missed this record. Such a fantastic concept and brilliantly executed by Eccentric Arcade, it's very much a musical adventure. Also, dude, why does your cover art always rock so hard?"
inflatable_twerp"Never has my 'random' button been so abused, so wonderfully. I haven't smoked in years but I think I need a cigarette after that. "
FuriousGrace"...No. The video was simply making a comparison between the album and the big cartoon style donut in the background (i.e. they're both awesome). "
frizbee"Wait...wasn't this album supposed to have to do with donuts or something?? As in the video "Donuts Kick Ass" http://news.figment.cc/2010/08/10/donuts-kick-ass/#comments"
TMTYTF"Bought for "Make Like Iron Maiden...", stayed for every other damn wicked song!"
Infacticide"The most fun album of the new year! I was blown away."
poppinfresh"one word for this......EPIC!!!!"
GothicEvil995"[form a Q&A with Zandergriff] - This was brilliant fun to record with the Arcade. They pushed my boundaries, which is not an easy thing to do. When you hear "Sailing To Argh Isle" listen for the crazy intersecting countermelodies that Ferny & I churned out. He is one crazy guitar guru and working with him on the arrangement was out of this world. Really everyone involved was outstanding...Hayden and Miyako are always a trip and EA is one of the coolest bands on the globe man! "
theHoseman"Right now "EPIC!" is at the EPICenter of my playlists. This album is a groundbreaking experiment in listening enjoyment. This is truly an adventure, whether you pop it in and hit play or utilize the full potential of the concept...you will find yourself deeply immersed in the tunes. EA are the trendsetters. The rest of us can only follow and hope to keep up."
theHoseman"Awesome song titles, awesome artwork. Love it! "

"Imaginative, interesting and immersive, this collaborative effort between Eccentric Arcade, Zandergriff Miggs of Parliament of Owls fame, and Hayden Frasco and Miyako Rey of Forgotten Falling, will have you listening over and over again as you create a new soundscape every time you listen to it. EPIC! Indeed."

"Turn of shuffle play, and get ready for your own narrative that surpasses your favorite RPGs. It's a little bit of everything musically, but with one focused goal. Whether the songs are trying to rip you in two with the riffs in "Make Like Iron Maiden..." or make you pump you with the grooves in "Dungeons and Drag Queens", the goal is to show you why EA is the best Amalgam band to ever stand... and it makes you feel pretty bad-ass as well.
