AllMusic[3]

Eight Hours Away from Being a Man is an album by the math rock band Roadside Monument, released in 1997.[4]

Critical reception

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette thought that "this three-piece is miles ahead of the competition with their tough and spare tension-release rock songs."[5]

AllMusic wrote: "Starting out with the blistering 'Sperm Ridden Burden' and ending with the groove-laden 'My Hands Are the Thermometers', somewhere in between the listener will find typical math rock fare, but not without its own share of creativity and drive."[3]
