MODERN DRUMMER REVIEW:

"Carl King’s Grand Architects of the Universe is a concept record that super-prog-heads can geek out to, and there’s no shortage of sci-fi TV-show narration and cartoon lunacy. Ex-Periphery drummer TRAVIS ORBIN provides the main kit work brilliantly throughout the record, keeping everything together in what must have been some long charts, and there are special guest drummers who handle solos on random tracks. With song titles like “Into the Inky Black Nostril of Zorbon” and “The Unexpected Techronicity of the Network Galaxy’s Most Evil of All,” you immediately have an idea of what you’re in for here, and Orbin, plus DAVE ELITCH, MARCO MINNEMANN, MORGAN ÅGREN, VIRGIL DONATI, and MIKE STONE all take turns being wild men, throwing down big rolls and elasticizing the music with metric modulation."
