The Charades: Wild Cards review:"... so can The Charades still cut the mustard as convincingly as before? The evidence here illustrates that the band have lost none of their matchless power or drive -drummer Jari, after all, is still the motor that propels the band along with so much impressive urgency...The Charades have done it again -another fabulous five star winner of a CD. Dave Burke

"The sound is fantastic and the band are on fire. Music may not be able to save us but it can still lift our spirits, and here the Charades do exatly that -in spades! It may be that the band´s true power is best experience in a live setting and this CD captures them in their full-blooded on stage glory... While the Charades are around we still have something to believe in." -Dave Burke, Pipeline magazine
