PRESS:

"Polak’s ability is topnotch. The riffs are catchy and the heaviness is infectious. Anyone that appreciates Hard and Modern Rock guitarists will recognize Polak’s skill. Hard rockers should take note of this release. This is an edgy album and more than worthy of your attention." (8/10) - RUDI HAUPTMANN, WWW.METALEXPRESSRADIO.COM

"Torn is one of the best songs I've heard all year and gives bands like Gotthard and Europe a run for their money! For fans of Milan’s early instrumental albums fear not as he still plays some enjoyable solos. If you like melodic hard rock with some neat musical twists then what are you waiting for go grab this album." (****1/2) - JASON RITCHIE, WWW.GETREADYTOROCK.COM

"Another superb album from Mr. Polak and one that showcases perfectly just what a real talent the man is." - LITTLE LINDA, WWW.THEMAYFAIRMALLZINE.COM

"Milan Polak's fourth release and second vocal album, Murphy's Law, is straight melodic hard rock made more interesting by clever innovation from rock, prog, jazz fusion, and Polak's own novel guitar work. There's nothing conventional about Murphy's Law, and we're better for it. Recommended! (4/5) " - CRAIG HARTRANFT, WWW.DANGERDOG.COM

"On Murphy’s Law you’ll find a honest piece of straight Hard rock like you didn’t hear for a while. (8.6/10)" - DICK DIJK, WWW.FURYROCKS.COM

"Great song writing, great guitar, great musicianship and great vocals are the simplest way to sum it all up. “Murphy’s Law” represents a refreshing slice of quality modern rock that should give the market leaders something rather big to worry about. (97.5%)" - ANDY CRAVEN, WWW.VIRTUOSITYONE.COM

"What I most enjoy about Milan is his ability to allow his guitar play and songwriting to co-exist without coming off as self-indulgent or excessive. 2 winners in a row - I’d much rather hear this material spilling forth on all rock radio stations than the same 20 song tight play list. (5/6)" - MATT COE, WWW.IMHOTEP.NO

"This is a great CD with a lot of attitude and shows Milan Polak to be a complete musician – much more than just another six-string phenomenon. (9/10) " - JOE MIS, WWW.HARDROCKHAVEN.NET

"If you go in this direction musically and you’re a bit fed up with the crop of musicians being pushed States side, MILAN POLAK is definitely one to watch." (7,5/10) - JONATHAN SMITH, HTTP://WWW.METAL-OBSERVER.COM
