The result is a monolithic, fuzzed-up anthem that crackles with malicious intent.í¢ä‰åŒ í¢ä‰åäóì KERRANG! í¢ä‰åñOpen Hand are one of rock’s brightest hopes for 2005. Judging by this album, we could be seeing a hell of a lot more of them.í¢ä‰åŒ í¢ä‰åäóì Nick Cracknell, TOTAL GUITAR “ALBUM OF THE MONTH. – Open Hand is a truly unstoppable operation. From the bomb-blast opening of ‘Pure Concentrated Evil’ through to monumental closer ‘Hard Night’, this is an astoundingly powerful album. You’ll be helpless to resist them.” í¢ä‰åäóì Victoria Durham, ROCKSOUND
