    Their self-seriousness comes with a melodic tenderness that's rare in the genre. [12 Aug 2005, p.77]

    The real problem is sounding like Alice In Chains; afloat without a genre, the gang too often turn their emotional intelligence to making kinda dark, vaguely artistic middle metal. [Sep 2005, p.138]

    More over-produced introspection. [6 Aug 2005, p.56]
