Though it is a couple of years late, I do appreciate this. Besides, we are only starting to conquer Hungary and Eastern Europe. Kudos to David; I love the review! He has even translated it for us English speaking folks. Although it is not grammatically correct, I get the picture. One thing that was missed on the fact checking is that the album is actually nearly 72 minutes and not 60, and there are 8 tracks not 7. I forgive you, and I am still proud to post the review. Someday, maybe, we will tour Hungary.

Translation(care of David):
"The way where i find the band called Paranaut, was so adventurous, because at first, i heard them at their MySpace-site, and after that i wrote an e-mail to the band, what contained my need about a promotional release. After that, the front-member of the band, William posted to me their album in the original form (not a promotional version, it was limited to 300 copies!), with some stickers, a disc with some photographies, a photocard, and a biography, what's so plenty of informations.
So, after i picked up my jaw from the floor about their kindness (man, it's the xxi. century?!), here comes the time, when i must say that: USA has a fizzy underground scene in the genres of slude/doom (and stoner, too, but i think, they're don't know the real value of this feeling), what's getting better and better. The band Paranaut comes from this scene, with some virtues about their musical ability.
In the trio's first album - what contains seven songs in 60 minutes - we can hear in high musical level, when the low tuned sludge mentality flirts with some slowly and organic doom parts and flickering guitar themes too. The quality of sound isn't the better, what i can imagine in this genre, but in my opinion, first of all this music (and these, epic-lenght and powerful songs) makes a frenetic feeling at a concert, and i envy all people, those who can go to a live Paranaut concert... The sound of a records is a secondary thing, at all.
The members of Paranaut don't want to change this world, but they're know from their visceral deepness, how to play slude/doom music with full of straightness, and if you will hear these song, i think you will find their talent. And in my opinion, that's enough about a good output, so i jitter them.
7 points of 10."
