Here is what a few people had to say about The Sound:
"This is the Sound! finally dropped! Crunchy Synths and Circuit Bent drum machines will make you feel part of the game."
- Alex, getlofi.com

"I will say just two words: UNCONDITIONALLY INSPIRATIONAL. "
- little-scale, Australia

"This is a great album. I love the variety of textures. I love the seemingly open ended and improvisational feel of many of the songs. Seriously great. Thanks guys."
- Note!, Japan

"It is INCREDIBLE. Everything is perfect - the art is stunning. And the sound is so gritty and organic in ways. Moreover, I love the fact that you've really explored the depths and sounds of your instruments, but not to the detriment of the music itself. Indeed, the musicality of this release is beautiful. And there is an atmospheric quality that often gets lost in the dryness of a lot of [other chiptune releases], punctuated, in this case, by zombie howls, heavily layered sounds and a great balance of glitchy, bent noises."
- cloud sparrow, Australia

"Call of the Final Five... F***ing TUNE OF THE WEEK!"
- akira||8GB, Argentina
