    While increased musical sophistication doesn't necessarily tell you anything about the people making the music, and insightful lyrics probably won't stop you in your tracks in a mosh-pit, if you nail both you've got an album that will explode and, more importantly, endure. Here, Every Time I Die have made the perfect example of such an album. [17 Sep 2016, p.48]

    Keith Buckley's masterminded so much raw emotion, power and helped provide an experience that's always as vicious as it is captivating. Low Teens is another example of this, encapsulating the best of the eight LPs that came before, and really representing the history of the band--dynamic metalcore at its best.

    If Every Time I Die's consistency hasn't impressed you these past few LPs, Buckley's bout of unbridled emotion on Low Teens certainly should.

    As usual, chaos and consistency make for a winning combination.

    With the aid of some incisive production work from Will Putney (Acacia Strain, Exhumed), as well as some creative left turns, they've delivered another solid, blast furnace-forged collection of working-class punk-metal that's as introspective as it is physical.

    Low Teens perfectly captures the history of the band into one solid release. If you’re looking for something new or completely groundbreaking, you won’t find it here. You will find an incredible album that grows with every listen.

    ETID just get better with every release. Keith's lyrics are always intelligent and amazing, Andy is probably the best rhythm guitar player ofETID just get better with every release. Keith's lyrics are always intelligent and amazing, Andy is probably the best rhythm guitar player of all time. Much like their prior release, From Parts Unknown, the songwriting holds up from front to back. They have remained true to their original style while branching out into new sonic territories to keep the sound fresh yet true to the bands roots. Standout tracks like "I Didn't Want to Join Your Stupid Cult Anyway", "It Remembers" and "Map Change" will keep you wondering what they'll do next and how they can possibly follow it up... but they always deliver...… Full Review »

Each song is individual, there's no dead weight and every single one has something that makes it excellent. Be it the laid back groove of It Remembers, the eerie discordance of Fear and Trembling or the southern tinged shredding on I Didn't Want To Join Your Stupid Cult Anyway, every song has something fresh to offer. Low Teens is the logical expansion on ETID's previous album, From Parts Unknown, pushing each aspect further, not rebuilding the genre or themselves, but definitely adding some freshness to their sound. Tight instrumentals, improved lyricism despite some less inspired lines ('I'm joining a cult, joining a cult, joining a cult' springs to mind), and the fury of a band that's got a lot more fire in it's belly makes it one of the best albums to come out this year. Couldn't recommend it more.… Full Review »
