About debut album Do Unto Others:
- Amster-Goddamn! I Believe In My Mess have only come up with a great sonic nugget (BBC Ulster – Michael Bradley)
- I am very taken by the album (BBC Radio 6 – Gideon Coe)
- Do Unto Others is a colorful mix of hard, soft, harmony, chaos, cheerfulness and crisis. However, it never gets too heavy, the band always sounds entertaining in its own way. (Written In Music – Edwin Hofman)
- It’s like musical play-doh, do look them up (BBC Radio 6 Recommends – Steve Lamacq)
- A sensational debut LP by an inventive duo. Also works great as an antidepressant. (Opduvel – Gert Derkx)
- One of the best albums of the week (Trouw – Klaas Knooihuizen)
- My favorite album of the year (It’s Sooo Different – Berend Dubbe)
