Reception[edit]

Adam Norris from Beat Magazine said, "I kid you not, from the moment the needle drops on the M.S.O's sophomore record, you're up and running. Frontman Nicky Bomba is a seasoned hand at crafting a catchy tune, and his encyclopaedic enthusiasm is infectious. To hear him discuss the raucous ramblings of the band is enough to convince you to throw away your daily life, grab a horn and join the adventure."[4]

Amazon Stores said, "Sierra Kilo Alpha throbs with hope, excitement and freshness."[2]
