    Decas isn't a great place for new fans to pick up with As I Lay Dying, but for those who have been around the block a few times with these guys, it's an album that they won't want to miss out on.

    Decas is not exactly coherent listening experience. Still, it's a worthy addition to the band's weighty catalog. [Dec 2011, p.118]

    The result is a treat for diehard fans only and entirely dispensable for anyone else. [12 Nov 2011, p.54]

    The last four tracks (which are remixes of old As I Lay Dying songs) on this compilation album are unnecessary, for the electronic and overly-beaty sound of synths and drum machines sound jarring combined with metal-core breakdowns, death growls, and clean singing.

    The new songs sound similar to those on the the band's last full length release, The Powerless Rise.... The remixes, meanwhile, aren't exactly noteworthy.

Not a bad album, because great covers of Judas Priest and Slayer and the three new songs manage to save him, but were somewhat disappointing remixes, sound much clutter disk and completely little harm. but is enjoyable in general is a good album to celebrate the tenth anniversary of this epic band. Congratulations. Full Review »
