« If you like bands that don’t just play psych rock and prog rock but actually UNDERSTAND the vocabulary of each, “Astra Symmetry” by Monkey3 is a must. » (progressivemusicplanet.com)
« Already a heavy hitter in the psychedelic rock movement, Astra Symmetry cements Monkey3s’ place at the top of the mountain. A heavy slog, but one worth your time and attention. » (midlandsmetalheads.com)
« Quickly you lose yourself in this fascinating record » (demonic-nights.at)
« The band stands at the zenith of their work and is one of the greats of contemporary instrumental music … » (stormbringer.at)
“…Astra Symmetry is exciting, demanding, fiddling and hypnotic at the same time…” (metalfactory.ch)
« …from hard rock to prog to stoner and everything you can imagine in between. It can be said without exaggeration that it might be their magnum opus. » (lordsofmetal.nl)
“…Monkey3 has always had something celestial. Worn by a keyboard with cosmic sheets, crossed by spatial themes, the sound of the group forces us to leave the earth…” (desert-rock.com)
« …If today we had to name a successor worthy of all this psychedelic period our generations knew, we would immediately think of Monkey3 … « Mirror », a piece of extreme calm and enormous power… » (daily-rock.fr)

« …. Astra Symmetry is obligatory for those who like the most traveling moments of Pink Floyd and all the great bands of the seventies but above all for those who can not get tired of traveling without leaving the same time. » (radiowom.blogspot)
« … A soundtrack for space exploration. An elegy for the creation of the world. A whisper that beats every secret string of the human soul! » (rockway.gr)
« But while not the most energizing stoner records you’ll hear all year, Astra Symmetry is certainly one of the most ambitious. One to listen to alone and get lost in. » (ghostcultmag.com)
« MONKEY3 has the crazy talent to compose an extremely visual music, the images multiply in the mind of the listener that is seen to lead to the immensity of the sky for its greatest happiness. » (metalchroniques.fr)
