  1. Kittie's most fully-realised and, for non-metalheads, approachable album yet.
  2. Has more melody and memorable riffs than the band's previous two albums.
  3. While siblings Morgan and Mercedes Lander's songwriting has improved since 2001's Oracle, there's still an air of mediocrity to later tracks like "Loveless" and "Burning Bridges" that shows an adherence to formulaic modern metal clichés, and a lack of confidence on some of the vocal takes that makes some of the songs sound like demos.

    They still have plenty of growl left in them. [Aug 2004, p.133]

    Kittie are rubbish, with a permanent lyrical setting of "Feel A Bit Miserable, Parents Don't Understand Me" and no original ideas whatsoever. [21 Aug 2004, p.49]
  7. Tenaciously mindless and effortlessly grim.

    Now. I rated this a 10 because I don't bias when it comes to selling out, which Kittie did right after Spit. But I do love Kittie. Now. I rated this a 10 because I don't bias when it comes to selling out, which Kittie did right after Spit. But I do love Kittie. Morgan Lander's Demon-esque growls are annoying to others, hardcore to some. Morgan Lander has also developed some pipes over the years. I am looking forward to there being more emphasis on a better growl, and vocals backing up those growls, like in "Severed". Kittie has most certainly matured & gained more talent over the years.
