    A compilation of the emo-punk band's favorite tracks, all reworked acoustically.

    With a few shining moments, the band seems like they've given up. Rather than pine over an album full of memorable hits, Damnesia falls short in many ways.

    While Damnesia makes a surprisingly strong showcase for the Trio's songwriting chops, they should've taken a few more chances.

    The album's best moment is "You've Got So Far To Go," which is straightforward without sacrificing nuance or energy. If only the rest of Damnesia could have been on that same wavelength. [Aug 2011, p.112]
