・Atom Heart Mutha - HRH Mag Issue XV (Midlands, U.K.) @hrhatomheartmutha
“2021 has been an interesting year ...there has already been one stand out release that (form my ears anyway) came from completely out of the blue - Japan in fact!

Blasting Rod’s ‘III’ is the best kind of surprise, it’s an album that can most defiantly be described as psychedelic avant-garde space rock, but it also contains some of the best acerbic grooves and fuzzed-out freak outs you’ll hear for months to come.

Fans of acid rock jams by the likes of Hibushibire and The Heads will find plenty to dig as well as those that need a Black Rainbows style dirty stoner hit to get them through the day. Blasting Rod are an interesting prospect and ‘III’ serves as a great introduction.”

・It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine @PsychedelicMag
"A true psychedelic rock gem from Japan."

・toru_kantoku @torukantoku853
不気味だがポップな世界で魔法使いに追いかけられる夢を見た…Blasting Rodの3作目を聴くとそんな体験が…サックス、トランペット、トロンボーンの即興奏者が加わり、自由でトリッピー、ヘヴィで魅惑の音世界。安井さんの重低音波は曲をオーガニックにする役目を果たす。[Creepy, but like seeing a vivid dream world that has been cast under a magic spell… This is the experience of hearing Blasting Rod’s third release. With sax, trumpet, and trombone improvisers added, it’s a free, trippy, heavy, fascinating audio universe. [Yoshihiro] Yasui’s heap of low frequencies take on an organic role the in the songs.] (tr. Shah)

・Mimmo Caccamo (London Calling - Shades Of Rock)
“...great fuzz vibes come by Nagoya, Japan, avant-garde jazz psych rockers power trio Blasting Rod."

・Enyo Sarac (YT)
“Getting some Ryo Kawasaki influenced vibes from the opening, interesting how well Japanese bands of any genre can integrate the funky 70's sound in and make it sound completely at home in the mix.”

・Ultra - Heavy Metal Textbooks
“...It's got the raw creativity of Stinking Lizaveta along with the dedication to blowing your mind of Acid Mothers Temple. Throw in some cool time changes, occasional Doors influence and even some horns, and you've got a really special album....”

・DoomCheese3
“What an absolutely amazing, dynamic album. Right out of the gate it keeps you on your toes and anxious for what’s about to come next. A very pleasant surprise which should end the year as a top album for sure.”

・Houmei Yanagawa
“2曲聴いたところで50年前の自分に戻れたような気分。サウンドは勿論新しいけど。Side Bの後半はなるほどSun Raの世界に近いものがある。” [After two songs I felt 50 years younger even though the sound is modern. Part way through Side B there is even something akin to the world of Sun Ra.] (tr. Shah)

・Niwa 283 @nwtkc
“Blasting Rodの新譜。Weedgrown Rockがハードロック版Sun Raな感じで宇宙だ宇宙!! こーれはLP欲しい!(プレイヤーも買わないと)” [Blasting Rod’s latest release: Weedgrown Rock is like a hard rock version of Sun Ra, it’s outer space, space!! This is one I want on LP! (Hafta buy a turntable, too)] - (tr. Shah)

・mildcats @mildcats666
“今日はまさかBLASTING RODに出逢えるとは思わなかったので満足度200%” [Was not expecting an encounter with Blasting Rod today so 200% satisfied.]

・Janusz Jankes (YT)
“Znakomity zajebisty fantastyczny mocarny potężny genialny kapitalny album hard rockowej muzy dla mnie bomba petarda ogień” [super (Superb fucking fantastic mighty powerful brilliant great album of hard rock music for me bomb firecracker fire super)] (autotranslate)
