Dec 13, 2011Sounds like the Arcade Fire being fronted by the Ultimate Warrior. I enjoyed the music but it doesn't match up with such angst ridden vocals. I was never a hardcore punk fan but this doesn't exactly sound like a true punk rock record being that the music is rather tame.

Feb 4, 2020really liked the instrumentals, but that's about it tbh. the vocals makes it really hard to understand, even though there is clearly a story being told which is a damn shame. half way trough the album it becomes really hard to care.

Jun 29, 2011The eighteen tracks and eighty minutes presented here don't hold a candle to 2008′s The Chemistry of Common Life but I truly admire the tenacity of this outfit to push on toward such a lofty venture.

Jun 28, 2011It's a true testament to the band that its windswept glory-rock stays exhilarating for nearly 80 minutes.

Kerrang!Jun 24, 2011Guitars buzz and chime, melodies uproot from the dirt and stand tall; the sum total being tan indefinable yet fascinating modern day rock opera that is as rewarding as it is unique. [4 Jun 2011, p.52]
