Personnel

Reviews

Chronicles of Chaos gave a neutral impression of the album, with a general summary of "average" across all facets - music, lyrics, and vocals. Of particular comparison to previous albums was the failure of any particular song to stand out in quality.[2]

Decibel Magazine provided a mixed review, complimenting Victor's "big riffs" but otherwise feeling it under-performed with an ugly cover and under-cooked production. In contrast to COC's review, Decibel specifically noted that each song did use unique mixes of riffs, but that the differences were subtle to the level of requiring specific attention to note differences.[3]

All Music also gave a mixed review, complimenting "The gritty guitars, the stop/start rhythms, the anger and the vicious ill will", but again noting the lack of any standout tunes and the absence of any general difference from their earlier music.[1]

gollark: Exactly. 360.
gollark: One semihyperironic proposal was to just ban employers from knowing or asking if you have a university degree.
gollark: Rewiring the whole system built on it is really hard.
gollark: The most politically feasible path to fixing that if people complain is just to throw money at subsidizing it.
gollark: I don't think this is likely to be a significant issue.
