    http://bit.ly/1eAMw18 This is a great debut album that could easily have been better but still hits the mark just fine. With the Deftones on hiatus I will happily listen to any music Crosses release.

    This album deserves between eight and nine,I'd love to give it a solid nine,but there are a bit too many fillers (Though what's a filler for me may be a great track for someone else). Anyways, this is,in my opinion, best album release since Moby's Innocents.
    Also, if you haven't heard it already, you simply must check out Frontiers and Bermuda Locket, for me easily the best from this album.

    Crosses' debut LP is a nicely honed record. Good vocals and harmonies, and elements of industrial rock music here. I found it some what similar to early Nine Inch Nails and obviously Deftones in a way. Overall it's decent, but not incredibly worthwhile or meaningful.

    Definitely a welcome addition to Chino Moreno's perfect discography. It's electric, ominous, and even funky at points - one of the top albums of 2014.

    im a massive deftones fan and i have listen to this album around ten times now and im in love with it, what crosses is really to me is just all the slow songs you hear on a deftones album add a little pop and electronic to it and you have crosses and i love it

    Definitely one of the best releases of the year, a great alternative record, both Chino and Shaun showing off a more chilled and artistic style we all know they had within them, id love to hear more crosses soon

    There's something that keeps bringing me back to this album; it's just phenomenal. If you like Deftones' "catchier", more accessible stuff, you'll love this. Blk Stallion might be one of he most infectious tracks I've heard in years...melodies galore!

    A very accomplished, multifaceted, genre-dodging outing. [8 Feb 2014, p.52]

    With the track order shuffled entirely, it almost plays like a greatest hits album: Closer examination reveals cohesive new context for the collection, one that's more satisfying than anything we've heard from the trio before. [Mar 2014, p.88]

    For the majority of its running time, Crosses is a slow, steady and comforting listen, very rarely raising above anything more than a laid back ebb and flow.
