"... really good schmeary sonics -- very imaginative, and real songwriting to boot! All too rare. I look forward to more." - Clint Conley, Mission of Burma
"This one will make my Best Of 2006 list for sure... Plenty of bands can be loud, heavy, dissonant, melodic, droney, etc etc etc. But when you hit stop... you realize that was all they had: noise. It's the songwriting of ATA that truly seperates them. These songs stay with you. Like the lurching, murky slowdown in "Stranglehold" which gives way to an AMAZING melodic turn, all of it hinging on Brendan McDermott's perfectly utilized vocals." - noonehereisasking.blogspot.com
"Party music this is not. Ballsy and adventurous, this is. Nothing about it plays into current trends in metal or indie rock. Instead, the three boys from Brooklyn have come up with something that demands your full attention and several listens to sink in." - exposemusic.net
"There's just this powerfully unexpected, almost surprising sort of underlying pulse to the material that adds an intriguing sense of contrast. Honestly this is a pretty god damn impressive set of tunes. I'm really floored by the finest moments herein, to the point where certain aspects really hit me in a rare fuckin' manner." - aversionline.com
"Brawny post-rock guitars--beefed up with the sincerity and power of metal--clear the way for this Brooklyn band's sweeping sound. But these wide chords entrance less than the spacious vocals that rise in their wake: uniquely, they're keen to match the axes in sheer acreage." - download.com, Editor's Pick
"Dissonance, dissonance, and a little more dissonance. That is the name of the game with And This Army. The guitars are laid on thick and hazy, layered in stacks upon stacks. The vocals ride in the midst of this jumble of noise, juxtaposing the confusion with just the slightest touch of pop sensibility." - mish mash music reviews
