Reception

edit

A critic at Last Sigh Magazine called Momentum "not music to necessarily relax to, Hate Dept., Cameron Lewis (Ipecac Loop), Fishtank No. 9 and Heavy Water Factory kick it hard with their own renditions of Battery songs that whisp the listener into another dimension of high intensity sound energy."[3] Sonic Boom said "If you are looking for a band with unbelievable strong female vocals and who are not afraid to develop a music style all of their own that have a listen to Battery and I am sure that you will not be disappointed."[4]
