The crucible

"Easily as satisfying as The Tower, The Crucible builds on its predecessor's achievement with brilliant composition, inspired performance, and consummate musicianship. It is an excellent example of how to mine rock's past in order to discover its future".

"Det er virtuost uten å være oppe i fjeset ditt. Jeg tror ikke Motorpsycho har noe skrikende behov for å markere at de er gode til å spille, det handler bare om å lette hjertet, og da blir det mye informasjon som skal ut. Det er ikke noe mindre enn en ganske stor bragd å levere i toppsjiktet 30 år ute i karrieren og at på til være fremoverlent og nytenkende i samme snurren. Men Motorpsycho er tydeligvis ikke som alle andre band".

"Some might consider The Crucible a tad pretentious even by Motorpsycho's standards. Nevertheless, it's a natural step further from The Tower, a move that was made available by their current drummer. This can be a polarizing LP, especially for fans who are turned on by their poppier side (myself included) or '90s works. In spite of that, I believe this musical vertigo is actually a minutely crafted conceptual piece that represents a peak in their career. Keeping in tune with their shape shifting trips, you can just sit this one out if it doesn't sink in. I am sure it won't be long until we receive another highlight offering a different sound too".
