Auckland prog-rockers Outside In invite you on an engrossing journey through a spectrum of emotions and sounds – from intense grit, gloom and poignancy to potent and climatic psychedelic euphoria.
Outside In have a great future ahead of them. Hopefully this album gains notice outside New Zealand – something many great Kiwi bands have struggled to do. Kia kaha, Outside In – karawhiua!
Rating: 9.5/10
The progressive aspect
“This is crossover progressive rock for the 21st century, influenced by more recent acts than many within the scene, creating a sound which is looking both to the recent past and also for the future. Outside In, the prog band from the end of the world you have never heard of.”
ProgArchives
“Outside In delivers what I believe is one of the boldest and most musically intricate albums, not only from this year, but in the last while.”

“Karmatrain may well be my first dalliance with prog from New Zealand, but if it is all as good as this album, then it’s a scene we should all get to know Outside In.”
