Neon Promotions review of "Press Here for Release"
"Opening with the airy, enchanting "Jagged Line" which sees an intriguing Goth/rap/dance crossover vocal, this is a beautiful and captivating album. The epic "Fake it" builds pictures in the listeners mind, and old favourite "Genius" makes a welcome appearance - a classic track. There are acoustic moments, as on "Opium" and "Bittersweet" yet on the whole there is a strong dance element running through this post Goth act - "Nothing" displays this perfectly. Finishing up with "Press here for release" this is not so much an album as a book - listen to it from cover to cover."

Meltdown Magazine review of "Press Here for Release"
"5 stars -- The undisputed Massive Attack of the alternative scene, Misnomer's third album shows their most wide ranging set of influences yet. Taking in numerous vocalists along the way, they veer effortlessly from darkwave pop to leftfield electronica to acoustic balladry, weaving a unique sound that is both evocative and creepingly addictive. I think more than any other this band have the potential to break through into the mainstream, the moody sweeping synths that define their sound as at home on MTV Dance as in a darkened bedroom. Yet nothing is predictable: '6:01(Fake It)' goes from ethereal female vocals to rapping to distorted vocals more associated with power electronics. There is a sense of urgency in tracks like 'Sentence' that belies the overall ambience, yet the wealth of ideas and influences never detracts from the incredible strength of the songwriting. This is an essential release."
