“The heaviest band Canada has ever seen (and most likely ever will see)… This Apparatus Must Be Earthed is so sonically dense, so destructive and so overwhelming it was banned from being used in times of war” - Exclaim!

“In the grand tradition of Big Black, This Apparatus presents a series of tracks so sludgy, heavy, stomping, metalesque, and generally hardcore that it's difficult not to be affected by them.… and even more amazing, there actually seems to be a good deal of intelligence behind the album's hammering sludge” - AllMusic

“Big-time sludgy, metallic, thick-necked, thud rock out of Canada. Nasty, spiteful stuff that makes a nice blend of Unsane + Cursed + Tad + Milligram” - shiny grey monotone
