(…) "Perfect Summer" is convincing with its quality and proves that inspiration has never left the trio throughout the long period of silence.(…)

CORE will gain big popularity from different audiences - which proves
once more that there are great modern rock bands who don't give
a damn to dictates from trends and hypes.
