Nice things people have said:
"listened to your parts.sounds like my opus's with the radio shit thrown in. sounds like the recorder is doing the work, which of course is easier for you, you can just sit back and trip on it i guess. i like architecture, shit, i'm sitting in it right now. funny this music world and scene, it's just that, a scene. not music at all. would like to hear some music with your tapes. unless of course the music is the tapes, in that case, i would like to hear some music with your music.but if that is the case, faggotry is an insult to those who might find it justifiable to look at god's beauty on a sunday afternoon instead of attending a show in which you say sucks anyway. where's the logic in all this backwards philosophy these people get these days. jesus man. jesus was nailed to the cross with nine inch nails spiked through his hands. and it's still going on. say yes to life. funny thing, i'm not even christian. just an artist hoping to see positive shit being tossed my way. but that's cool either way. tapes are tapes." -Some guy. who was a jerk.

"Roizman's pet project Say No! To Architecture followed with a carefully abbreviated set that was apparently a sort of mash up / showcase of a few of his compositions. His rig, in the face of its towering results, is a relatively simple line of three guitar pedals. But with this small is beautiful / less is more approach, Roizman manages to ring his arrangements into a sort of vibrational frenzy: it's a hissing, droning mass that can roll ineluctably through basement walls, but it doesn't start that way. It's often built off of simple, almost punk rock guitar stabs and bright, post-rock melodies, carefully lopped and mangled, methodically and meditatively over the course of his long-play compositions:" -Imposemagazine.com
"Allen. He's awesome."
-Jaqueline of Make The Product!, WNYU 89.1 FM woo!
"i'm not the best at describing, but it's great to know something like this is getting created." -Dan from CT.
"Say No! To Architecture, describe themselves as "experimental, ambient, psychedelic," on their MySpace. Though the bulk of their music could be easily mistaken for noise, the band weaves beautiful harmonies in between the noisy stanzas. Say No! To Architecture's tone is the type of music that tells epic stories through their intricate use of noise and static." - Emily Culley, Fairfax, VA
"At 22, Roizman is one of the old-
er performers, and his ambient, cyclical music bears marks of an impressively matured aesthetic sense. Layering guitar through a relatively simple arrangement of effects pedals, he achieves a heavy mass of texture and static, generated from percussive guitar stabs rooted in structured song-
pieces. He documents his work on old tape players, a dogmat-
ically lo-fi approach that lends his recorded material the aura of something glowing warmly in the distance." -Impose Magazine, March 2008, issue 31
They say: "The music of two young suburbanites who don't leave their houses much." We say: Their 'Experimental/Ambient/Psychedelic' tag is actually unexpectedly, pretty much on the money - SN!TA sound like double-exposures, haunted beaches, and/or public transport in bad neighbourhoods. It's texturised machine drone that flickers between beauty and menace, as only people who run a musicians co-op called Ghosthunters Club could, perhaps."

"Sadly, most people tuned out and instead walked over to see Say No To Architecture, who began during their set.
Actually, this Architecture fellow played some enjoyable poppy music. Think of jangly 80s pop, complete with hummable melodies and bouncy percussion. And he did this all by himself, using those looping pedals. A very raw setup, with guitar and various percussion. Really nice to see someone so talented taking usually experimental means to produce such ear-candy pop."
