4.0 excellentUnderflow | July 2nd 13

The lost Yes album. Do you like Yes? Yes? Good! You'll like this.

4.5 superbOliverCampbell | August 9th 11

Very well may be the best progressive rock band together right now. Sounds like Gentle Giant and Yes and their own progressive creativity all at the same time, and at the same time, I'll be frank. It's way better than their last two records because they got a new vocalist that isn't annoying.

4.0 excellentkrongey | November 22nd 22

Listening through these first three Wobbler albums definitely gives an impression of going from strength to strength. Afterglow had more impact and immediacy than the debut. And then with the addition of singer Strømann Prestmo, they seem just totally jazzed to be alive on Rites at Dawn. in contrast to the mostly instrumental material of the first two albums, this is fairly carpeted with vocals, solo and harmony. The material is a bit simpler and more groove based to accommodate the big load of singing. In other words, there?s actual songwriting going on here. The renaissance period stylings of the previous album, Afterglow, aren?t followed up on this album.

4.0 excellentInoculaeted | November 17th 20

Classic prog revival that earns it's place at the big kid's table. Rites at Dawn is a dreamy journey through a dimly lit Tolkien forest. The instrumentation is engaging and technically mature. It feels as though the 70s giants were given access to modern production tools, because the record sounds immaculate.

3.5 greatTheLodge | September 15th 11

Sounds like Yes. I mean, so much like Yes. The vocals are almost exactly the same. It's generally faster, but that's the biggest difference. Frankly it's excellent to see a band emulating Yes so closely and the album is great - Yes haven't released anything this good in years, perhaps a decade or two. Perhaps a more individual sound would have helped, but I think I like it how it is.
