"OBRALUMINUMS" WISDOM is what makes lnocentes' craft moves, I figured. The EP "Obraluminums" saunter through the air with a fascinating mix of grace ace and grit, guts and groove that readily qualifies the set as a chartbuster in Manila's mainstream pop/rock radio. All the four cuts "REKLAMO," "OBRA-SOBRA," "HINAHANGAAN KO," and "PABLO PICASSO," are surefire winners. They have that roundhouse kick and streetwise mischief that'll sure stick where it should. Spiced up with bassist Ricky Tarriela's kneading chops and Rommel De Leon's minimalist drum shuffles- and guest guitarist Ryan Paayas' (Basement 31) sleek wah-wah ministrations, there is no reason why this EP won't give the band the respect it truly deserves. --PASCKIE PASCUA, (taken from INDIE ROCKZINE, vol.1,number1 JUNE 2001)
