"Fans of retro rock should definitely pay attention. WITB is clearly among the best in the genre in recent times." (Rock Hard,2019)
„Perhaps this will be one of the best things you will hear this year. [...] The gentlemen stick to their style and inspiration, but they do it impressively, interestingly and with attention to detail.“ (Lupus Unleashed,2019)
„Welcome Inside The Brain succeeded in amalgamating nostalgically conventional rhythms with strong melodies in constant musical swerves to release a jubilant energy.
Highly recommended and ... refreshing!“ (Neoprog.eu,2019)
„Heavy prog and psych rock of the highest order. [...] With "Queen Of The Day Flies", Welcome Inside The Brain bring an album full of brilliant compositions with equally superb lyrics. For the first time this year, I will give it the maximum score because this psychedelic gem is a must for every prog rocker and acid rock freak.“ (Dark Entries, 2019)
„So typisch 60s-psychedelisch waren selbst die Doors nicht immer“ (Eclipsed Magazin,2019)
Welcome Inside the Brain did a hell of a lot of great things for
their second album, and their passion for their musical paradigm
is an ever-present reminder of why we all feel so connected to
our music in the first place. With a little refinement, big things
could be down the road for them, and you should hop on the
bandwagon now. (Rocking Charts,2019)
2018
"At some point in listening to Celebrate the Depression [...] the music stops being a mixture of a
wide variety of different threads of progressive rock and becomes a thread of its own. [...] In any
case, this is great stuff, one of 2017’s best releases"

„I’ve seen the music described as the mutant offspring of King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Yes and
Magma and that is about as close as it gets. […] Repeated listens are definitely needed to get a grip
on this stuff but it is well worth the effort. Definitely one of the best progressive rock releases of the
past year.“

„The way Welcome Inside The Brain play their music is simply unparalleled in today’s prog.
Imagine the twiddly instrumental bits of Haken‘s music, crank up the daftness by a factor of ten and
forget about conventional things like verses or choruses. […] Welcome Inside The Brain are leagues
ahead of their contemporaries, both in technical ability and style. The level of effort that is required
to write and perform such music is simply astronomical and for that they must be applauded.“

„...eine äußerst energiereiche und leidenschaftliche Mischung aus Psychedelic und Prog.“
(Eclipsed Magazin, 2018)
„The music on Celebrate the Depression is like a huge mash up of from Weather Report to Pat
Metheny to King Crimson to Brand X to Sun Ra to everything in between, only more complex and
perplexing.“
