"The tempo that this record thrives on is a chunky and relentless merry-go-round of tense songs that are exciting from the second it opens to the dynamic climax. ... This record is a great and never ending serving of entertainment."

"Skitzo slams into your body like a mountain falling on your head. They are as powerful as any rock band I've ever heard. The band hurricanes its way past the wussy bands on radio today. They are in a word, Awesome!"

Robert Metzgar / Capitol Management Group - Legends Hall of Fame  

"The addition of sophisticated keyboards brings this hard rock band - out of the ordinary - to a whole new level! High energy - very dynamic! And very visual!"

Evidence Recording Artist / Songwriter - Essa Mohawk  

"Skitzo Calypso is diverse, energetic, and passionate. With no bracers as to their style of music, their original sound and immense stage-presence put Skitzo Calypso in the league of other rising Baltimore bands."

Daniel Fields  

" ... plenty of keyboard driven, up-tempo, big guitar riff heavy rock here to delight mom, pop, sis and grandma for the rest of the week. Hey, there's even a few heavier breakdowns, kind of like some old Anthrax (again, another good thing)"

The Origivation (4 Stars)  

"Look out, because Skitzo Caypso is back again, stronger than ever, with their unprecedented new album, “13”. Never mind that they’ve been churning out records for the better part of a decade!

This is yet another reinvention of the band, which now includes Gary Gatto, Brad Cox, and Teresa Hayden (a cool chick who is in the fold). The Holmes boys (Brian &, Gary) also join the festivities. Don’t blink, because you just might miss a minute of the maniacal madness that is contained within this stellar compact disc on the Bi-Polar label out of Bel Air, Maryland. “Eyez”, “Black Fly”, “Stignation”, “Blinds”, and “Remember?” all blast through the speakers in blitzkrieg fashion. And before you can catch your short-and-sweet breath, renditions like “Helpless, My Goddess”, and “The Day Is Dead” swoop in for the kill. Don’t even try to dry your eyes as they water to the likes of “Spiderfinger” and “Shooting Down On America”, because, by then, it’s too friggin’ late! By then, Dave Pace and Doug Milton have already co-conspired with band manager Brad Cox to cook up a concoction of cool tunes that make Skitzo Calypso one of the premier bands that deserves to be heard in the Mid-Atlantic region Trust me when I tell you (as the band does), that “Angels Have No Limits”, and “The Things I Could Never Change” round out the CD in convincing fashion. Are you ready for one of the most convincing bands to come along in a long time? Answer me “yes” if you feel that way! Answer me “yes” if you feel that good! -Mark Bounds"
