Metal Hammer Review auto:reverse:silence "sounding not unlike the fall of troy, the hubble constant bring a number of influences to a great sound. Think Tool's mindset, the instrumental precision of opeth, the erratic energy of every time i die and a very LA garage-rock vocal run through an amp. With an abstract name like Hubble you get what you'd expect: strange music. Diverse sounds like reggae rhythms, crashing crescendos and whispered vocals make this a particularly eerie and intruiging CD"

Die, Shellsuit Die Review i sin + cos "it was a challenge listening to these boyos, but I am glad I did. Taking a progressive angle to most of the left-field art-rock stuff of late they throw in more discordance and tempo changes than the rest. Imagine if you will what the Murder Of Rosa Luxembourg would sound like if they had carried on after the first album and listened to more pg99. All four tracks have there own identity and show a different facet of the bands personality. My favourite is the final track “ Bringing Down The Telescope”. Starting with samples and ambient noise before letting rip with some Blood Brothers esque vocals and riffing before dropping into a Slint like middle and finally finishing with a extended melodic build up and samples. Hearing this CD makes me want to see the boys live and then I can imagine it will all fall into place."

Live reveiw by Satellites Magazine "The hubble constant are a different story live to their recorded material due to adding a second vocalist after i sin + cos was released. The birmingham barfly was an appropriate setting to showcase a band firmly making a name for themselves with their live presence, watching as the two vocalists throw themselves around like rag dolls with one of them clearly having no regard for his own safety, this was going to be entertaining.

Unfortunately there was a down side to the show, the performance of the sound engineer left alot to be desired but I cant but this down to the group. Actually the band overcame the workmanship with a solid professional outing. They remind me of Dillinger Escape Plan with the percussion of Pelican, some times ambient but mostly manic and passionate in the best of ways. The best song of the night award went to "flip you for real" it gave me a small insight of what is to come from the band as it was the only song of the night off their forthcoming CD, even going as far as sparking a small moshpit. The Hubble Constant's career path will be an interesting and im sure a very eventful one."

Live reveiw by National Gig Guide "Birmingham band, The Hubble Constant, burst onto the stage. Their first impression told me these boys had energy, driving vocals with instrumentals which switched from an assault into mellow at all the right points. Something made me think of a mash up between at the drive in, deftones, hint of blood brothers and a mix of will haven. Definitely something that fits into a crowded local scene that can stand alone and after hearing the vocalist is a brand new addition can only prove how exciting and interesting the next few months will be for these guys I shall make a point of going to see them again."
