[8] In the homeland, the band decided to coincide the release of its new one with the Day of Cosmonautics, because, as musicians explained the choice of the date for Tuzin.fm, “the age-old human desire for the new, for the conquest of uncharted spaces exactly combines our new songs.”[9] “The purpose of such trips is a long-awaited moment of happiness, after which we are going to move forward again to manage to catch more, yet there is less time left...” Ultra-Music wrote about it.
[14][15] Ultra-Music’s correspondent Andrej Piatakoŭ witnessed a new look of the band, called “the pajama quartet,” as well as was one of the first ones who heard a fresh remix that would be put on the thematic EP in the fall.
[16] A fresh style and more frisky new songs were presented to the general public in June, as the guys performed at the musical show of Capital TV “Celebrity Ring.”[17] The second single from the album “Rolz’n’Rulz,” which is themed around natural and contrived conventions that restrict or give people rights, was released on September 15, 2010.
[28] During the online-broadcast, it was announced that 11 songs were planned to be included on a CD and the themes of the highborn, generosity, fortitude, desire for life with a bit of self-irony and oddities had to go through it like a common thread.
[31] Musical works for the past three years were combined into the album “Gentleman,” and this release began to be available on the official website of the band starting March 21, 2012, with a pay what you want option for fans.
[41][42] Critics appreciated the great fall concert, which went home, without a special flair, “at the grade of B,” while Irena Katvitskaya, artistic director of the folk bands “Akana-NHS,” “Kazalpin,” and others, highlighted via Budzma Belarusians!
„Gentleman“ is from a number of those albums of this year, which we can certainly be proud of.”[67] In the review of the European Radio for Belarus, the record was called “good, thorough, well thought out, and beautiful work.
site Siarhei Budkin, “they have got everything you need: great voices, quite good lyrics, keen sound, flawless execution, competent pitching.”[2] Źmicier Padbiarezski, one of the expert staffers of the Experty.by portal, noticed that “this band is just almost closer to the standard European tradition of combining rock instrumentation with enough pop melodics than all.”[63][3] His colleague Aleh Klimay, who noted that “Rolz'n'Rulz rulez,” liked greater energy and aggressiveness, as well as melodiousness.
[3] Another reviewer over at Experty.by Źmicier Biezkaravajny praised “melodic and melancholic songs, beautiful guitars, and Aleh Vial’s recognizable high vocals” on the album.
[3] Maryja Kalieśnikava, freelance writer for the Experty.by project, called the album “a spring which does not hurt but caress during extension” and focused attention on “polyphony, which sometimes compels to recall the Fab Four, gives airiness and a feeling of a large stroke to the sound,”[68] and Siarhei Budkin considered that “it is nice to hear a solid, cherished album, where not one or two specific songs but all of the songs at once are set out.”[69] Nasha Niva’s Juraś Uskoŭ summed up the assessment of domestic experts, “We have been waiting for the debut album by Hair Peace Salon for a few years, the result did not disappoint: there is great Brit-rock, whose studio exemplification proved to be no worse than the concert one.”[70] Russian journalist Aliaksandr Filimonaŭ gave a positive assessment of the CD, “I am into all kinds of British and guitars with melancholy vocals and minor melodies, therefore I could not pass it by.”[71] At the same time, reviewers noted the lack of brightness and originality, because the record was heard as a regular British wave album.
In the opinion of ej.by and Experty.by columnist Źmicier Padbiarezski, music from the album looks absurd against the cover based on the works of Sergei Balenok, who is “an original, paradoxical artist indeed.” The owner of the Experty.by music portal Źmicier Biezkaravajny in his review wrote, “The result proved to be a good quality album, which sounds too predictable.” Journalists rebuked for the kind of messy sound, so it is practically impossible to recognize the majority of the lyrics by ear, and some understatement in the songs.
[3] In the review of the 2012 year by Tuzin.fm, the album was marked as “a very nice work, where individuality is felt.”[72] Earlier on, the disc was already mentioned in the website’s article “Top 5 Belarusian music of this spring.”[73] The CD shared places from sixth to ninth in the ranking of the ten best albums released in the first half of 2012, according to the Experty.by portal,[74] was mentioned in the personal tops by Aliaksandr Filimonaŭ, editor over at Lenta.ru,[71] Siarhei Budkin, editor over at Tuzin.fm,[69] Maryja Kalieśnikava, editor over at the European Radio for Belarus,[64] Aleh Klimay as a columnist for Sovetskaya Belorussiya – Belarus' Segodnya wrote about the disc in the article about the most worthy domestic albums for the first seven months of 2012 for adding to personal music libraries.
