"This Madison indie-rock band writes meandering, impressionistic songs propelled by driving drums and splashes of electric guitar. 'At Sea With Scale' may cast a dark mood, but the lively percussion keeps it earnest and energetic."
Rich Albertoni, the Daily Page/Isthmus – May 26, 2011
"...A Minute Jack Forum delivered bluesy math rock, wringing precisely controlled howls and yelps of feedback out of a guitars, bass, and drums setup that showcases thoughtfully composed music with just enough deviation from the blues–rock template the band orbits to deny equilibrium."
Adam Powell, AV Club/the Onion
"It's pretty safe to say that A Minute Jack Forum is unlike anything else in Madison. How they achieve this with standard rock outfit instrumentation, without keyboards, is admirable. AMJF is one of those ensembles that blend retro rock influences with forward-looking aesthetics. But where other experimentalist band like Orphan Bloom are more aggressive and in your face, AMJF is subtle, using texture and a variety of acoustic and electric guitar sounds to create a compelling sonic palette."
Rick Tvedt, Local Sounds Magazine – November 19, 2010
"...their debut is a very smartly arranged, confident–sounding collection of guitar rock. There are enough hooky numbers to please guitar pop fans, and the occasionally suite–like song structures also provide the complexity to please listeners looking for something a bit more challenging."
Bob Koch, The Daily Page/Isthmus — July 18, 2010
"A fairly recent band bolstered by years of collective experience, gallant mavericks A Minute Jack Forum beautifully brew a broiling stew of bronco blues and rousing frontier rock..."
John Noyd, Maximum Ink – September 2010
"Lyrically, I think A Minute Jack Forum really nailed it with this album. The lyrics are thought provoking and intelligently crafted, and even slightly cheeky."
