SpinHeartfelt guitar rock capable of punching you in the gut and patting you on the back. [Aug 2003, p.114]
-
Catchy yet intense guitarwork, intricate rhythms, soft and hard moments, and layers of Shehan's amazing voice - it all combines to create one amazing album.
-
Polished and tight in all the right places.
-
A charged and melodic album full of anthemic choruses, hummable verses, and passionate rock.
-
Despite the ubiquitous lackluster second half, and some weak tracks scattered throughout, the opening triple-threat supersedes them.
-
Gratifying both in spite of and because of its slickness.
-
A solid set of rock songs that hovers somewhere between the professionalism of Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American and your favorite slice of homegrown emotion.
-
MagnetMuch of the material is mid-tempo and occasionally bland, but in its best moments... Kill Them With Kindness soars. [#60, p.105]
-
FilterSpecial moments are few and far between. [#8, p.109]
-
This band's playing is so tight you wonder if the members aren't cogs in a machine.
