    Fresh and bold. Maybe the best of the year so far. It's different from Phantoms and yet has all the elements that made the first album excellent. It's worth a 12 year wait.

    Love what Acceptance has done with their comeback album. Fresh. Slightly new direction but it sounds like Acceptance, just more current. Can't stop listening. My favorite album of 2017 so far.

    Alive with the freshness and vitality of rebirth, they've delivered 11 tracks that manage to bridge the vast airiness of their mid-'00s heyday and the poppy progression of here and now. [25 Feb 2017, p.52]

    What could have been a nostalgia grab is instead the triumph of a band that chose to deliver on the initial promise of their seminal debut, not only to their faithful fans, but, more importantly, to themselves.

    These new hooks are just as sharp as you'd hope for. [Mar 2017, p.80]
