  • Summary: The Boston-based punk-metal outfit returns with a third studio LP, produced by David Botrill (Tool).
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 8
  2. Negative: 1 out of 8
  1. Unflinchingly heavy, this midtempo metal won't disappoint believers. [June 2003, p.101]
  2. Faceless... grooves more fluidly than Awake, but the band still hasn't managed to locate the pop hooks that made their debut a success.
  3. Mostly it's the same staccato riffing, constipated vocals, and generic, rage-against-the-kidney-stone angst. [11 Apr 2003, p.78]
  4. At least Nickelback know how to write a tune. [Jul 2003, p.104]

    Matt, seriously, love, just telling you to fuck off since obviously you don't know jackshit about music. & when you use Alice in Chains to insult somebody think twice. Alice in Chains is one of the big bands of the eighties, nineties, & hell has even seeped over into today. If you think that this "shit is poser and unoriginal", as you so aptly put it, you can fucking take a cold plunge. By the way, I'm twenty-seven, somehow I don't think that qualifies as a "stupid high school teen." Expand

    When this band finds a way to be original and create an album with depth they will be recognized as a legitamite band. Until then, they'll always be known as the band that copied Alice In Chains' formula to the very worst form of music. Expand
