"What comes out of the speakers deserves only one description: M.O.N.S.T.R.O.U.S! In every possible way. Monstrous sound, monstrous songwriting, monstrous class! In 2010, Beehoover push their ridiculously powerful vehicle in a different direction without losing grip. It is still there - thee Beehoover sound that makes this band so special. Bass and drums, nothing else and a tone that no one else has. The capture and release rhythms, the call and response between the two members and good gawwwd, those riffs! Tons of 'em!"
"While the predecessor "Heavy Zooo" was a hook-ladden, angst-filled soundtrack to riot, rampage and party, "Concrete Catalyst" now sees the band elaborating their songwriting into unexpected finesse. Touching prog-ladden textures and unexpected changes, creating distinct walls of sound and incorporating structures that make them leaving the heavy rock cluster at ease, "Concrete Catalyst" is a monolith that is so much more than a collection of songs. If there ever was a reason for using the word "album" in conjunction with a long-play record it would be records like this one! Narrative and conceptual composition that is here. The whole album presents itself in a colorful dignity that leaves you breathless. While it's obvious that Beehoover seem to take their integral parts much more serious than ever before, their special and distinct humor still shines on "Concrete Catalyst". There simply is no category where you can lump this in."
