    As emo-tastic as Threes is, it merely sizzles in ways their debut singed. [Oct 2006, p.128]

    Sparta... sounds like a beast that's broken its chains and is fighting between the road ahead and going back from whence it came.

    Sparta have evolved, with a melodic approach and a postdepression, fist-pumping attitude. [Nov 2006, p.104]

    The truth is, even Angels & Airwaves do this sort of epic-emo thing with more verve, if not more Verve. [#73, p.96]

    An Amazing album. Jim said this was supposed to be a cultimation or graduation of their work, it felt to me like they walked past the stage and straight into college with flying colors. You can hear traces of prior work but really this is a completely different sounding album that is incredible.… Expand

    Flawless & full of depth. Dark in its tone, but easy on the spirit. I could not recommend it more.
