8.5/10 - Stephen - "Musically this is
excellent with hooks you could hang a Mack truck on, melody deep and wide with
lyrics that rip at the heartstrings. A powerful story in form and function",
"This is high-class rock and roll at it’s very best.", "[...]a
story line that brings chills to your soul." - Download the in-depth review from

10/10 - Jesse - "Tight and burning, every track gets me up
and rockin the whole day through. Vocals and certain slammin tunes remind me of
Queensryche. Buy the CD, you won't be disappointed."
9/10 - Thomas Provencher - "There must be something in the
water here in Berkshire County,MA. First with the local Progressive band
Alter and now with Shadow Pointe. Reason Beyond Acceptance takes you to
places where very few albums go these days. This is only my personal
opinion, but I have been a musician for over 20 years. You can hear from
the very first track that the members of SP are musicians and not just
entertainers. RBA is truly a foundation that this band will build upon. If
you like Queensryche, Dream Theater, Rush, savatage, etc,etc, you will no doubt
like Shadow Pointe. RBA is a full concept album with great story lines and
charecters. I do have my favorite track however. I Am The One is simply amazing.
The vocals on this song will take you to new places. It's a hook no doubt.
Every instrument played on this album has it's own place. From the amazing
keyboard's all the way to the awesome vocal range of thier singer. You can
no doubt tell that SP worked very hard and long on this album. I love it and
highly recommend it to anyone."
10/10 - Brian Johannsen - "Your stuff is very nicely
produced. The guitars are very strong in your songs, particularly “Breeding
Cancer.” It really sounds like you guys know what you’re doing. “Along the
way” is a great song. The lead part in it is infectious. The phrasing is also
amazing. I see this as being a great radio track. “Rage” has a tantalizing
drum beat. Your vocals are good, the drums are good, the bass is good, the
guitars are good, you guys are a good band. Sounds like you guys have a great
future ahead of you concerning your music, keep it up!"
