"On its latest album, the Network, Vancouver orchestral rock crew presents a cyberpunk concept driven by cello, viola and violin as much as electric guitar. With members drawn from the ranks of local metal acts Svneatr, Thousand Arrows and Ysgaroth, the eight-track, 40-minute record is another fine release from the globally recognized and appreciated B.C. metal scene." - Vancouver Sun
"An instrumental journey with a lot of charisma... Anyone who likes to think outside the box from time to time and likes instrumental music should definitely give "The Network" a try." - PowerMetal.de
"... this is great progressive music... the album is strongly recommended if you’re open minded and you like your music to sound like a detailed and complex story. Great stuff!" - Metal Rules
"Sometimes there comes a prog metal act with something new or at least different than most others. And Opus Arise surely fits this description! Their songs are instrumental to begin with. But that’s far from all." - Melodic.net
"A magnificent album, original, inventive and of great musicality." - Pierre Davidson - A Progressive Life - CFUZ 92.9 FM - Penticton, BC
"“Inner Scepticism,” shimmers through the linement of time and brings about an intricate braid." - The Median Man
"This new record teleports the listeners to a cyberpunk world filled with neon lights punctuated with progressive riffs. The album has a modern metal influence and different composers from their first album." - Canadian Beats
