Random Thoughts is an album that you can't help singing along to. Even though the melodies and lyrics are emotionally charged, the whole package will a spring in your step. - Music-Reviewer.Com

...a confidence...that is rarely heard in music today. One of the first things that individuals will hear are the vocals, which possess a certain harmony that allows the voice to pull double duty – instead of just providing individuals with a set of lyrics, Pete’s vocals join together with the instrumentation to create something stronger than each piece taken separately...“Random Thoughts (From A Paralyzed Mind)” may be the band’s first full length CD, but the maturity exhibited will easily fool individuals into thinking that this is their fourth or fifth album. - Neufutur.Com

Raw energy and pure heart! That's a real performance that truly connects with the audience! - Dewey Beach Music Conference critique

An aching heart bleeds out with sincerity. Bloom has an earnest touch that will win friends. - Glasswerk.co.uk Review

(Bloom's) voice belts out—teeming with beauty, heart, and skill. He channels UK singers like Bono, Tom Chaplin, Freddy Mercury, and Paddy Casey, while still staying true to his Canadian self. So play “Random Thoughts” while on a road trip—it’s perfect for getting lost in the music and the drive. - Anney E. J. Ryan - Skope Magazine

For grown-ups keen to try Canadian pop but put off by all the oddball Montreal indie acts, the answer may come in the shape of Peter Bloom. Earnest as a Toronto winter day is short, Bloom makes sweeping piano pop redolent of late Beatles ballads or Chris Martin at his most thoughtful.

This is one of the more accomplished debuts I've heard in a while. Straddling the border between a singer-songwriter vibe and energetic arrangements verging on power-pop, the Toronto-based Bloom and his band put across his well-constructed, catchy melodies and emotionally charged lyrics with easygoing confidence. Best of all, there's a nice variety of feels from song to song, from head-nodding pop-rock to sensitive balladry, and the ten tracks are solid throughout - it's not a case of one or two standouts and a bunch of filler. Bloom's high, liquid tenor is very appealing - boyish yet with depth of feeling. - Blog Critics Magazine - Eric Olsen
