"His music turns my heart into a fist... Sometimes tears fill my eyes when I hear his songs... Musicians like Bill Madden and albums such as New Religion are very scarce."
- Wim Boluijt, Real Roots Cafe

"New Religion... a stunning combination of bold music and urgent message, perfectly timed for today."
- Patrick O'Heffernan, Music Friday Live!

"New Religion is an album for those of the intellect kind who can appreciate outstanding music arrangement and lyrical Woa!"
- Alexandra Juryte, PEOPLE THAT MATTER

"These stories are born aloft in New Religion by nontraditional instrumentation and unencumbered but subtly complex arrangements that create a landscape that his lyrics trek through. The effect can be ethereal, hypnotic, and seductive... while it retains the poetry and social commentary that are his brand and his internal engine."
- Revolution 360

"It is Madden's at times haunting vocal performance that helps to pull together the different instrumental influences... It is that passion and ability to tell a story which makes this album feel fresh and interesting."
- Chelsea Lewis, TheCelebrityCafe.com
