Reviews:
"Overall, Bufferstate’s first EP is a nice little stoner gem sharing many similarities to Opeth’s recent material. The calm yet also slightly threatening vocals from Peter combined with the band’s flexible sound of stoner, progressive and ambient rock creates a realm of dreams that can either be a relaxing trip or a hellish nightmare."
- BelgianMetalShredder.be
"Four steaming tracks that hold the middle ground between atmospheric grunge, driving heavy rock and grooving stoner, decorated with progressive rock elements.
The polyrhythms in the drumming and sometimes odd time signatures (Tool, Voivod), fat grooves (Mastodon, Orange Goblin) and inventive prog rock parts (Opeth, King Crimson) are all there.
BufferState manages to create a beautiful, fairly original musical synergy from existing elements."
- wingsofdeath.net (translated from Dutch)
"They float somewhere between punk, grunge and postpunk, but have clearly listened to early Pink Floyd as well.
Here at Luminous Dash we eagerly await their first long player."
- luminousdash.com (translated from Dutch)
"This foursome, I think, managed to achieve a good result by throwing different genres together to make something unique and entertaining. I have to admit that this band is capable of putting strong songs into each other."
- metaltoinfinity.be
"You can hear the influence of metal, normal rock, postpunk, grunge, groovy stoner and some more styles. Musically, you will hear a quiet bit of The Ocean, that will transition to Tool and then evolve to Opeth."
-Hellspawn.be
"Four musicians for four tracks, but also four inspirations for four aspects of alternative rock music, oriented here by strong sounds calling for grunge, hard rock, math rock and stoner.
- Musicinbelgium.net
"...good atmosphere, a lightning of sounds, BufferState may be the future of the new progressive stoner."
