    It's great to see a band like Senses Fail that has all the potential to be a great hardcore band put their strengths together and make what they've always wanted to. Some will be upset that they've taken this path away from their pop punk/emo rock stages and went with a heavy raw sound, but not me and the same will go for many hardcore fans who come across this album. Absolutely fantastic.

    I'm hoping the next album they put out is just as well executed.    … Expand

    Renacer paints a clear portrait of a band lacking the courage and will to abandon the tendencies they have clearly grown out of and no longer stand behind.

    This is how you do post-hardcore in 2013 without sounding like a relic. [23 Mar 2013, p.54]

    Produced by Shaun Lopez (Far, Deftones), the sound and shape of each Renacer is clean and spacious.
