Listed below are some review excerpts:
“GBS creates an unbelievable masterpiece on their debut album”
Generated X / Germany
“So, no more words beyond this: Tid är Ljud is brilliant, and if your tastes are anything like mine, you should really love this album. Highly recommended!”
Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock
GBS gets even more points for definitely being about the MUSIC, not the playing. While it’s obvious that these guys are good, they’re not showing off, they’re writing and performing some marvelous, melodic music without pretense that’s still wonderfully PROG.
Aquarius Records
The album is much recommended and is a true winner that like good wine gets more depth and taste with each listen. It also is a very good entry for those who still believe that good progressive rock was only done in the ‘70’s. Amongst the better Swedish albums from the last 10 years.”
Progressive.homestead. United Kingdom

“It has something that most progressive rock bands don’t, the ability to carry on with the 70′s era movement rather than emulate it.” & ” I believe this is the crème de la crème in 2006 and I can’t wait for another from this amazing band!”
Prognaut / USA
“What a great find! This all-instrumental Swedish four-piece hailing from Stockholm was completely unknown to me but their album hasn’t left my CD-player for weeks now. Incredible melodic and highly skilled authentic progressive with elements of Happy the Man, early King Crimson, Kebnekajse, Änglagård and Anekdoten”
Progressiveworld.net
“An absolute positive contribution to the Swedish progrock scene.”
Tarkus Magazine / Norway
“Masterpiece…or thereabouts”
5/5 – Lowcut Magazine /Denmark
“Tid är ljud is a very detailed instrumental album. The seven songs gives you almost everything, beautiful melodies, dreamy atmospheres, intense rock and thick syntheziserparts. The music is total. It is melancholic, melodic, varied and fascinating [...] Highly recommended!”
Musiq.no / Norway
