All Music Guide
These days music fans will be hard-pressed to find an album so satisfying.

A high-voltage treat. [22/29 Aug 2003, p.133]
Dot Music
They now have more in common with Jane's Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers than they do their former mentors Papa Roach.

When they crank out catchy ditties on harmony-heavy cuts like "Drifting Apart," AAF sound like a bunch of old pros--old pros who are still having a blast.
Read Full Review >Q Magazine
Their brand of ant music has matured and expanded noticeably since ANThology. [Sep 2003, p.98]
Spin
The album feels unfocused, and this time, Alien Ant Farm don't have a novelty hit up their sleeve. [Sep 2003, p.111]
Drowned In Sound
Blending careful harmonies with insidious melodies and woeful lyrics with clever vocals, AAF stick a couple of Hispanic influences and some string quartets in as well.
Read Full Review >PopMatters
Sadly, AAF don't seem to have come away from their near-death experience with any sense of their own limitations or their own transience. Instead the band simply exists within these limitations.
Read Full Review >Blender
Alien Ant Farm's songs may be catchy, but their wishy-washy personality makes it hard to care. [Sep 2003, p.118]
Alternative Press
Sounds like a teenage Faith No More at their first practice. [Sep 2003, p.116]

I love this CD! All the tracks are different, yet very good. I'm so happy that they remade "S.S. Recognize', that song is great. 'Glow' is probably the best song on the album, it's so cheeky!
