“Boy does this Ohio duo make a lot of noise. In fact, this sophomore EP… sounds more like a mid-career offering from an accomplished hard-rock quartet. Such is the overwhelming nature of the two-some’s aggressive-yet-beautiful sound.” – Paste
“The last album I reviewed by Mr. Gnome pretty much knocked me out flat. This self-titled follow-up hits just as hard… Tightly written songs weave around trip-hop atmospheres, indie rock guitars, and glamorous female vocals that while eerie are out-of-this-world delicious… Mr. Gnome you’re devilish, awe-inspiring, and something that fans of Tool, Massive Attack, and Portishead can all find in common…” – Smother
“Together less than two years, Cleveland’s Mr. Gnome is already making waves in the Northeast Ohio music scene with a trip-rock style that melds the percussive swagger of Portishead with the metallurgy of Black Sabbath.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Mr. Gnome glides through catchy and crunchy hard rock arrangements… post-modern prog rock arrangements that arrive in burning starts and smoldering stops. Promising work.” – Amplifier
“Frantic drums and tortured female vocals greet the ears from this soon-to-be seminal indie rock project… With trip-hop’s downtempo beats, rock’s thrills and gorgeous vocals that you’d expect from Tricky or Portishead’s more enigmatic journeys…” – Smother
“like Black Sabbath fronted by a breathy Fiona Apple” – Cool Cleveland
“Mr. Gnome… play(s) like an instrumental band that happens to have vocals… I’ve heard the word ‘crunchy’ applied to guitars more than once, but until hearing this band I didn’t really get how a guitar could crunch. Their sound is intense, violent and harsh. It calls for combat-booted stomping, fists and hair flying. Picture: Grendel’s mother on her way to avenge her son. It’s a sound far more dragonish than gnome.” – Kaffeine Buzz
