Games at High Speeds is the first full-length album by Pilot to Gunner, released in 2001. [6] [1] It was re-released in 2003. [2]
Uncut wrote that "for all their complexities, Pilot To Gunner repeat their explosive shifts too often." [5] AllMusic wrote that the album "ultimately isn't a surprising reinvention of the wheel and gets a touch samey towards the end, but it still makes a fine first album from a band that shows some distinct promise." [3] CMJ New Music Monthly called it "a riveting and raucous jaunt that begs repeatedly listening." [7]
Pilot to Gunner released the album on vinyl in 2006. The only difference is the removal of the song "Action Items."
