Reception

CMJ New Music Report wrote in 2002 "Founded in Montreal in 1997, Pulse Ultra is an aggressive, yet melodic rock band that interestingly toys with prog à la Tool, but never loses focus on keeping its songs short and to the point. "Big Brother", the album's first official single, will please anyone who got off on the moody industrial tinges of A Perfect Circle's "Thinking of You", while "Glass Door" is a full-throttle rocker in the style of Ultraspank."[3] Brian O'Neill of Allmusic gave the album a mixed review, stating "The Montreal-based outfit borrows heavily from the more avant-garde styles of Tool ("Put It Off"), and other moments are more firmly rap-metal in nature ("Void" could be Incubus). While there's nothing wrong with drawing from many different sources -- to be sure, the best music usually does -- you still can't help but think of one thing when listening to Headspace: contrived."[1]
