    I don't think this album is the masterpiece everyone seems to think it is. Most songs sound the same, and a few are pretty boring. That being said, it's one of Anberlin's best, (It's not hard to beat New Surrender, which was horrible.) and I love the song Little Tyrants.

    The album lives up to its title in every way and should prove essential for old and new fans alike.
