“A bloated alt-rock relic spiritually scraping the ’90s, done with so much audacity and seismic guitar crunch one can’t help but strap into their time machine. With too many cautionary tales of overly self-indulgent rock disasterpieces to name during the generational epic’s heyday, this Toronto quartet wisely keep the sound big, but the anthemic denouements concise”.- Erik Leijon, montrelmirror.com

“Initially its instrumentation, high-tech, power-rock style, and the pyro-technical nature of its performances brought Triumph comparisons to Rush. To wit, Peter Goddard described its music as ‘a kind of over-weaning, head-bending music that seriously challenged Rush’s supremacy as the masters of the sonic clout’ (Toronto Star, 24 Mar 1979). Rarely favored by the critics, Triumph was often depicted by the Toronto media as a business rather than creative venture. In fact, Triumph opened its own recording studio, Metalworks Studio, in Mississauga, in 1978; more recently Moore has focussed his energies on the studio, which has become an educational facility for recording engineers and technicians. Metalworks has received nine recording studio of the year awards at the Canadian Music Industry Awards”. – TheCanadianEncyclopedia.com
