International Press:

...it was one of the best albums I'd heard this year. 'Plan B' really is a beautiful album, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
- Ruth McNerlan
Ireland- Liquid Darkness REVIEW

...His voice is expressive and yet intimate. His solo guitar playing is soulful and is reminiscent of Carlos Santana's acoustic work... J. Armen is a talented singer/songwriter and guitarist, who's album "Plan B" I highly recommend.

...he can really pick a guitar. His lead style brushes against the blues, but it's got a lot more Santana flavor, and laid against his jazzy chording, is really pleasant...

    Have you ever taken a ride in a fast car with your head pinned to the back of the seat? Well, Medicine Hat can create that experience with a simple listen of their new album "Unsolicited." ...Although whether you are in the back seat or front, you'll need to buckle up for the ride of a lifetime.
Douglas Sloan- Metronome Magazine, September 1996
    ...Great voices, excellent lead vocalist and fine harmonies entwined about these mainstream rock songs...
L.A. Joe- Sound Check Magazine, January 1997
Released in 1996
Label: AMAF Records
  ...These are the bands metal needs to see its resurrection. This isn't the same old stuff. It has depth and perception. ...The rebirth of metal has to be somewhere around the corner. These guys could be the ones to lead the way.
Paul Merullo- Assault, February 1997
  ...Medicine Hat manages to sound much larger than a three piece band on this new CD effort. They incorporated excellent vocal harmonies with a driving hard rock sound that is distinctively their own. ...They are a band that's not afraid to go to the edge and they prove that song after song with fierce guitar work and potent rhythms.
Douglas Sloan- Metronome Magazine, April 1997

David Easton & The J-Krew
"Good songs form the core of "You Got What You Wanted," but the skills of the players allow the band to slide into any area they choose. These are soulmen who can take it as far out as they want. Check 'em out, you'll be hearing more from these guys."

--John Ziegler, Program Director at KUMD-FM Duluth, MN
